Synopsis:
This subject based on project to develop scientific knowledge application about human and
computer for understand and both engineering interaction. Students will given the project for
apply the theory using selected tools.

Objectives :
At the end of the course, the students should be able to:
1. to explore the models, techniques and mechanism that use to define and enhance
the communication between human and computer application from input and
output.
2. to use graphics in creating interface, alternative tools input and output as well as
computer language and platforms to develop application that comply with Human-
Computer Interaction (HCI) concepts and techniques.

Learning Outcome:
At the end of the course, you are expected to:
1. apply knowledge on the HCI tools and interaction techniques
2. utilize the HCI evaluation techniques
3. utilize the HCI design methods/areas
4. design a usable HCI, criticize, comment and evaluate a system
5. develop a prototype of interface design based on user requirements

Important Notes:

 If you do not submit an item of coursework, or you do not attend the exam, you will
receive zero mark for that component of the assessment. If you submit neither, you will
receive NO GRADE for the unit. If you are unable to attend the final exam, you should

are not allowed to re-sit or defer any of quiz or midterm test.

 Students who are absent for more than 80% of the prescribed classes can be barred
from the final exam which will result into receiving no grade for the paper.

 Using information from other sources and not citing the source is plagiarism, a form of
CHEATING. When you are working with other students, please remember that failing to
contribute adequately to the project but taking full credit for other's efforts is also a
form of CHEATING. If you are caught CHEATING or TRYING TO CHEAT in your
assignment, quiz, test, or final exam, you can and will be punished accordingly and
may not be permitted to sit for the said exam.
