Learning outcomes |
Learning of theoretical and practical methodologies in product design supporting design assignments and practice of design tools such as: semantic panel, mental models, brain mapping, timelines, flow diagrams, evaluation matrix among other tools allowing interaction sceneries; and basic research methods, such as: interviews, data processing, observation techniques and interaction tests. Knowing methodologies and competencies for the development of one product design so that students benefit from:
• Enhance analytical ability adapting the design to the several constraints of the system (client, market, production, raw material and user);
• Planning, systematizing and leading several research activities in product development;
• Thinking methodological systems to identify opportunities and logical solutions for emerging problems in the development of the product design.
• Working in multidisciplinary teams and become acquainted with teamwork design methods and methodologies, for problem search, intervention and development.
• Knowing design research methods for students’ development of their own methodologies and procedures rationally conducting their design projects.
• Development of aptitude for the adequate application of methods, structures, techniques, procedures in the design processes of each design challenge.

Syllabus |
Promote the discussion of key topics related to the field of User Experience in four modules:
MODULE 1. Characteristics of Interaction Design: provide, explore and discuss future scenarios; thinking through sketches and abstract concepts; Ethical, Aesthetic, Cultural, Technical and Functional concerns.
MODULE 2. Methodologies for User-Centered Design: ISO 9241-210, creation and evaluation of interfaces through card sorting, focus groups, task analysis, flowchart, "personas" creation, among others.
MODULE 3. Heuristics for digital games: concept, advantages and disadvantages of usability heuristics; Application of usability heuristics for evaluation and development; Discussion of work under the use of heuristics to digital games.
MODULE 4. User experience: Concepts, differences between Usability and User Experience and evaluation methods. The psychology of emotions; relationship between cognition-emotion and emotion-cognition; instruments for measuring emotions; gamers of emotion.
