The purpose of “Introduction to User Experience” is to the introduce to the students the idea of user centered design (UCD) and cement the idea that when they design any solution (website, mobile app, PowerPoint presentation, financial report,) they should always design their deliverable around the end-user not around their wishes. Together with the rest of the tech/digital courses that the students learn from, “Introduction to User Experience” complements the development courses that the students learn to empower them with the skills of thinking about the user needs and goals, the problems they are solving, spec’ing out a crude solution, testing it and then developing it; this avoids the burden of diving directly into coding and then throwing all the code away or worse creating patchwork of code after the solution goes live.
