Human-Centered Technology Design

Human-Centered Technology integrates human sciences with computer science to design computing systems with a human focus. Researchers studying HCTD broadly investigate how the relationship between people, groups, societies and technology can inform the design of computing systems that support human’s activities and enrich their lives. By implementing and evaluating computing systems in terms of their usability and accessibility, faculty are able to make critical inquiries into the implications of computing system’s increasing presence in people’s everyday lives
