HCI 591 Seminar Recap
Interdisciplinary by definition, HCI impacts nearly every area of our lives. The HCI graduate major reflects a broad recognition in academia and industry of the need to train researchers to meet the challenges faced by this rapidly evolving area of technological progress. HCI graduate students at ISU interact with faculty from departments representing every college in the University as well as researchers at the Virtual Reality Applications Center.
Students in the program engage in the interdisciplinary research and study of the interaction between people and technology and how that technology impacts society.
TESTIMONIALS
- "Iowa State University’s Human-Computer Interaction graduate program has
facilitated my professional career by providing cutting edge facilities
and through encouraging multidisciplinary collaborations.
Our interactions with computing technologies are going to rapidly change
over the next decade and this program has allowed me a glimpse into that
exciting future."
- Jeremiah Still (Alumnus), HCI PhD 2009 - "The coursework of ISU’s HCI program provides an excellent preparation
for working in the industry. Thanks to connections I made through the
program, I had an opportunity to interview for a summer internship.
Much of my interview focused on projects and topics covered by HCI 521,
the introductory HCI class. Thanks in part to this preparation, my
interview went successfully, and I look forward to an internship with
Microsoft conducting usability research this summer."
- Michael VanWaardhuizen, HCI MS student
