Course details
Advanced UX Design in a Business Context
TECH 60707A
This course alternates between theory and practical workshops to train specialists in UX design. Students will experience the complete life cycle of an artifact in partnership with an organization and will leave the course with a comprehensive understanding of the UX methodologies and tools required for the collaborative design of a digital product or service.
This course aims to consolidate all theoretical knowledge acquired in the program by applying it to a real-life case study. In this course, students will develop the key skills of user experience professionals that are necessary for the collaborative design of a digital artifact (e.g., a website, mobile application, information system) from problem identification to solution conceptualization. Through a comprehensive approach, combining fundamental theories of user experience understanding with the application of multiple user-centered design methods and tools, students will mobilize their knowledge, skills, and abilities to design and develop a complete digital artifact. In doing so, they will apply advanced UX design techniques while building their UX portfolio.
