"(Interface) Design is a plan for arranging elements in such a way as best to accomplish a particular purpose.” - Charles Eames
The vision of this program is to create designers who will be able to design and develop user interfaces and interaction designs for products and services that enhance the overall user experience.
The program is informed by the following learning disciplines:
The students under this program will have the opportunity to work with the following centers and labs at Srishti.
The Diploma in Interface & Interaction Engineering focuses on training students to develop exceptional skills to craft high-quality, professional interface designs. Grounded in the human centered design principles, this program leverages an approach that optimizes the interface around how users can, want, or may use the product, rather than forcing the users to change their behavior to accommodate the product. The program will focus on the tools, standards, frameworks and methods of creating, documenting, and communicating interface design across web, mobile, and large screen platforms. The studios will be more applied, where the students will learn through applying the concepts in concrete design situations under the mentorship of studio leads.
The overall curriculum covers an iterative process of designing interactive computing applications including desktop/laptop software, and smart-phone/tablet apps. As part of this learning approach, students will learn the human centered iterative process that involves following four steps: analyze step involving principles of user research, design step involving interface design, the build step covering prototyping and coding, and the test step covering usability testing and other research methods to evaluate the design.
