Título H1

Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM) offers the Master in Digital Innovation: Human Computer Interaction and Design (HCID), one of the nine international technical programmes within the Master in ICT Innovation organized by the EIT Digital Master School in collaboration with 20 top European Technical universities.

  • The Human Computer Interaction and Design Master offers a unique academic programme, whereby students can study human computer interaction and design, innovation, and entrepreneurship at leading European universities.
  • In this programme, students will learn about design and evaluation of interactive systems with a strong emphasis on user-centered design techniques: understanding the human capacities and consequences of using information technology as a tool for solving work related tasks, and developing and evaluating the systems by putting the user at the center of the design process.

This course presents: first, an overview and introduction to the field of human-computer interaction and usability;
second, an introduction to the methods to elicit user requirements and structure the design process to be usercentred; and third, the course will emphasize the importance of paying attention to user needs and cognitive
functioning in order to design usable systems. The course will also introduce visual design, heuristics, interaction
methods and devices and specific interaction paradigms.

Faculty members with subject teaching role: Elena Villalba Mora (Subject coordinator), Cristian Moral Martos.
