HCID 500 Introduction to Human Centered Design

This course will introduce the student to the fundamentals of Human-Centered Design, using the Double Diamond Model, which forms the foundation of HCID’s program and process. Current research in disciplines from neuroscience to anthropology is applied to derive design principles which prioritize human needs. The student then applies these principles to identify, research, and analyze human needs in fields of their choice in a guided exploration of the first diamond of the procedural model.
