加利福尼亞大學(xué)爾灣分校位于洛杉磯東南約 50 英里的橙縣(Orange County)爾灣市,這里四季如春,風(fēng)景優(yōu)美,有著“全美最安全城市”,“世界宜居城市之 王”,“南加州硅谷”等諸多美譽,周邊坐擁眾多知名的科技公司,包括博通,高通,SpaceX,西部數(shù)據(jù),洛克希德馬丁公司,暴雪娛樂,科勝訊公司,Google,華特迪士尼公司等,為學(xué)校發(fā)展和學(xué)生就業(yè)提供了支持。
UC Irvine’s Department of Informatics offers the only mixed format,low-residency one-year master of human-computer interaction anddesign (MHCID) in the world, providing students the benefits ofin-person, high-touch learning in accelerated on-campus visits with theflexibility of online distance education. The MHCID program preparesits graduates to be leaders in user experience research and design,interaction design, information architecture, product design, and
human-computer interaction. The MHCID program is also fully accredited by WSCUC and overseen by the Academic Senate of theUniversity of California.
MHCID 計劃培養(yǎng)其畢業(yè)生成為用戶體驗研究和設(shè)計、交互設(shè)計、信息架構(gòu)、產(chǎn)品設(shè)計和人機交互方面的佼佼者。

2、課程設(shè)置:
During the fall, students come to UCI to participate in a three-dayintensive. Students will network with members of our advisory board,alumni, faculty, and other members of their cohort.
280 Overview of HCI and Design (4). Introduction to human-computer interaction and user centered design. The material is focused on laying the groundwork for understanding the history, importance, and methods of human computer interaction and design.This class is an accelerated course taking place over a four-day period.
Fall Quarter:
281 User Needs Analysis (4). Understanding the user’s context, needs,and preferences.Topics include:Interviews and observations,modeling the context, flow, culture, space and artifacts involved in an endeavor, ways of aggregating what is found, and presenting these findings to others. Pre-requisite: INF280.
282 Design and Prototyping (4). Introduction to user centered design and prototyping. Focused on practical methods for interaction design.Topics include the nature of design and the challenges to creating and evaluating good designs, as well specific skills for designing interactive systems. Prerequisite: INF280.
Winter Quarter:
283 User Experience and Evaluation (4). Evaluating prototypes and completed systems. Topics include: comparative analysis, laboratory experiments, heuristic evaluation, cognitive walkthroughs, surveys, clickstreams, and help-desk.
Prerequisite: INF281.
284 Advanced Design and Prototyping (4). Develop and communicate interactive technology design prototypes. Moving concepts from brainstorming and paper prototypes to wireframe and limited functionality mock-ups. Prerequisite: INF282.
Spring Intensive:
Students will once again come to campus for an intensive in-person session, this time for three days. This on-site time will provide an opportunity for hands-on instruction, meetings with fellow program students to kick off the capstone roject, and networking with faculty, alumni, advisory board members, and other students.
Spring Quarter.
285 Interactive Technology Studio(4). Technologies, languages, and skills required for creating prototypes to ommunicate interactive technology concepts. Topics include: HTTP, CSS, CSS scripting, AJAX, Design Patterns, Javascript, Javascript libraries such as jQuery, SQL,MVC and cloud architectures. Prerequisite: INF280.
287 Capstone Project in HCI and Design (4). Group project that reinforces all concepts learned in this program, including knowing where user experience work is most appropriate and essential and executing these steps. Prerequisite: INF283, INF285.
Summer Quarter:
286 Innovations in HCI and Design(4). Recent social and technological developments in human-computer interaction and design. Topics will vary as the field progresses but include novel input techniques, novel platforms, and innovations in theory and methods of design. Pre-requisite: INF280.
288 Capstone Project and Portfolio (4). Completion of capstone projects and development of portfolios. Ideation, critique, development and critique. Prerequisite: INF287.
Summer Finale:
The program will culminate with a three day on site intensive experience during which students will present their final capstone projects. During this in person event, a job fair and numerous networking events will also take place to ensure that MHCID graduatesare placed in top positions and continue to reach out to one another and to leaders in the field.
