Ubiquitous computing is a reality into our workplaces and homes. Personal computing devices such as smartphones, tablets, laptops and notebooks surround us at home and work. The web too has grown from a largely academic network into the hub of business and everyday transactions. This course will focus on how people are a core component in the design and use of IT, and introduces aspects of human behavior that influence the design, development, and use of interactive computer systems. The course also considers a variety of methods that can be applied to the design and evaluation of interactive systems. The accessibility of the computer systems will be discussed as well, because of different needs that a human end-user might have. The student will study the entire cycle of HCI design and implementation, such as forming of HCI requirements, modeling the interaction process, designing the interface, implementing the resulting design, and evaluating the implemented product.

This course is an introduction to the behavior, analysis, and design of structural members and systems. It provides a basis for the understanding of elementary force flow in structural systems and an intuitive understanding of how systems react to and resist loads. This course introduces the theory of statics with analytical and graphical solutions. Topics include the determination of loads, the resolution of force systems, and equilibrium analysis; and structural principles related to shape (centroids and moment of inertia), the properties of materials (stress, stiffness, and modulus of elasticity), shear and bending moments, deflection, column theory, and elementary indeterminate structures. Instructional methods include lectures, advanced digital media, video, in-class problem solving, demonstration models, and the investigation of historical precedents. The course provides the knowledge of structural theory which is the basis for the code based procedures in subsequent courses.
