DEA 2900 - Human Factors for Inclusive Design


     
Fall. 3 credits. Student option grading.

This course serves as an introduction to human factors and the basics of inclusive, human-centered design.  Individual variability requires different design solutions, and we will evaluate, model, and apply methods to support the needs of a wide variety of individuals. Students will work with researchers and student groups locally, and other universities nationally and internationally for project work.

Outcome 1: Comprehend disciplines and fields: Students will be able to relate cognitive and physical human factors methods to inclusive designs of products and spaces.

Outcome 2: Think critically: Students will be able to identify, evaluate, plan, and execute projects relating to inclusive design and special populations.

Outcome 3: Innovate in research, design, or practice: Students will be able to create new designs utilizing human factors systems-modeling approaches.

Outcome 4: Write, speak, and use visual communication effectively: Students will be able to explain and justify their project outcome through oral presentations, written reports or both to a variety of stakeholders.
