Course Objectives: 
Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) is the study and the practice of usability. It is about understanding and creating software and other technology that people will want to use, will be able to use, and will find effective when used. A human-computer interaction (interface) functions at the intersection of machines, people, information, and tasks. Growing emphasis within the computer science community has been placed on the development of these interfaces -an aspect of design loosely termed user friendliness. This emphasis becomes increasingly important as the number of computers in use by non-specialists in the home, workplace, schools, and libraries continues to rise. In fact, it is now generally recognized that the nature and quality of user interactions are considerations that should be integral in the design of software throughout the development process from its initial conceptualization.
