Master’s Program Specialization

Designing Interactions

Students learn how to understand, conceptualize and model human behavior as well as design interactions with computing systems within diverse social contexts. These socio-technical systems include emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, extended reality or robotics and give rise to questions about human experience, meaning-making, behavior change and broader societal impacts. A wide range of qualitative and quantitative methods will be covered including computational methods to analyze and model human behavior on individual and group levels. In a design studio, students will then learn how to translate contextual understanding and create and evaluate computational artifacts.
