Design = Art + Engineering
When I first saw this site, I thought it would be best to do nothing. - S.Calatrava
Comp Sci = Science + Engineering
In 20 or 30 years, you'll be able to hold in your hand as much computing knowledge as exists now in the whole city, or even the whole world. - Douglas Engelbart
Psych = Natural + Social Science

Kinds of Groups
Managed Groups– strong leader– individual accountability
– organizational purpose
– individual work products
– efficient meetings– measures performance by influence on others
– delegates work
Teams– shared leadership– individual & mutual accountability
– specific team purpose
– collective work products
– open-ended meetings– measures performance from work products
– do real work together
Adapted from James Landay, Marti Hearst
Benefits of a Team Approach
UI design requires many different skills– Design
– Management
– Programming
– Observation
– Writing
– Speaking
You must work together with others who have complementary abilities

Show & Tell
Show & Tell
Nothing motivates design better then real artifacts
Whenever we have time, we will use the last thirty
minutes to discuss an application, device,
interface, widget, trend or another topic related
to HCI
This week I will supply the topic, but in the
future I expect students to come prepared with
their own ideas - this is part of class
participation!
THURSDAY - Examples of GOOD or BAD interfaces
For Next Time
Read Donald Norman, Design of Everyday Things,
Chapters 1-2
Bring examples of really good or bad UIs (in
the future email me before class if there is
something specific you would like to share
that day)
Start thinking about interesting user tasks
and applications you might want to study
