HCI Process and Theory

Process and Theory is a project course intended to provide new researchers with an introduction to the skills and perspectives inherent in interdisciplinary HCI research. It is taught each fall and our incoming PhD students are required to take it. Course work is divided into:

- Discussions about the nature of interdisciplinary research in HCI based around guest lectures by faculty approaching the same problem area from different perspectives

- Specific research skills such as writing, presentation, publishing norms and ethics

- A semester long group project experience
