Objectives In order to improve the efficiency of and quality of product development more and more in industry so called model based processes, methods and tools are currently introduced. Where as in the past decades development was based on computer aided design, where the computer tool and its data model was just a mean to produce the required deliverables like drawings, diagrams and specifications, in the model based approach, the computer model itself becomes the deliverable of the engineering.hgjhgb This evolution from computer aided design to model based design, and from computer aided system en-gineering to model based system engineering can be seen as a paradigm shift and requires from future engineers a basic understanding of the product models they produce and deliver. Therefore this lecture aims to provide a basic understanding of the product models along the develop-ment process using the ISO standard ISO10303 (STEP = Standard for the exchange of product model data) as reference, so that this knowledge can be applied on various tools.

68. Ambient Displays for Human Computer Interaction (HCI) Language English Content Description:

Human-Computer-Interaction (HCI) is a growing research field in science as well as in industry. Researcher and practitioners in this area investigate how humans interact with computers or design technologies. Thereby, approaches of psychology, ergonomics, cognitive sciences, social sciences and design play together and build the basics of user experience (UX) design. Computer Software, Websites, and Smartphone Apps are examples for everyday interfaces. However, these interfaces demand the focused attention of their users. Ambient displays can be developed to inform users without demanding their attention. These displays can show information unobtrusively (Mankoff et al., 2003), but also get a user’s attention when needed (Matthews, Dey, Mankoff, Carter & Rattenbury, 2004). In the scope of this seminar, we will analyze examples for ambient displays in HCI utilizing different modalities. Based on an individual literature review, students have to come-up with innovative concepts. Students work in teams of two and have to document their results in a short paper and a poster. At the end of the semester, student present their results in an internal mini-conference with a “poster session”. Possible topics: • Will be developed together in a dedicated brainstorming session and refined/substantiated by the individual teams (with feedback from lecturers)

69. Designing for the Era “Beyond the Smartphone” Language English Content Description:

Human-Computer-Interaction (HCI) is a growing research field in science as well as in industry. Researcher and practitioners in this area investigate how humans interact with computers or design technologies. In the last ten years, the Smartphone became users’ permanent companion. Tasks like, for instance, Internet surf- ing, Emails, chatting and entertainment in general, which were formerly only conducted on desktop computers, are now mainly performed on mini computers with small displays carried in our pockets. A life without our individual set of apps is not imaginable anymore. However, the question (for this seminar) is: Will the technology of smartphones be also around in the future or is there an era “Beyond the Smartphone”? What might be future users’ needs we as designers have to satisfy? How can future concepts look like? What are benefits and drawbacks in contrast to the interaction with today’s devices? Human-Computer Interaction research as well as consumer electronics industry is already intensively working on different concepts for e.g., wearable devices, smart-glasses or foldable and holographic displays. In the scope of this seminar, we will analyze, from a human-centered perspective, existing and upcoming technologies. Based on an individual literature review (related work study), students will have to come-up with radical innovative concepts by applying appropriate ideation methods. Concepts have to be implemented as prototypes. Students work in teams of two and have to document their results in a short paper and a poster. At the end of the semester, student present their results in an internal mini-conference with a “poster/demo session”. Possible topics: • Will be developed together in a brainstorming session in the first lecture and refined/substantiated by the individual teams (with feedback from lecturers)

73. Qualitative UX Design Research & Methods Language English Content Previous UX research (Bargas-Avila & Hornbæk, 2011) informs us that

most researchers agree that UX is context-dependent, that the shift in HCI towards UX is accompanied by a change in favor of qualitative methods. Rational decision-making favors objective data and a formal process of analysis over subjectivity and intuition. However “User experience goals” differ from the more objective “usability goals”. Instead of assessing how useful or productive a system is they are concerned with how users experience an interactive product from their perspective. Accordingly, different individuals, or even the same individual at a different time, may experience technology in quite different ways, and that is not easy to capture in rationalist models. Rationalist models abstract in a way that excludes particular circumstances, perhaps the very circumstances that turn out in practice to be most salient (McCarthy, 2004). Qualitative methods are used to access people’s feelings, aspirations, and imaginations and can delve deeper into the explicit, observable, tacit and latent needs of the participants. Qualitative methods are suitable for addressing the ‘how’ and ‘why’ questions. They focus on the experiences of participants and support the understanding of the culture/behavior of a group. As a result, in this course, we address the value of qualitative research and design methods for UX, and we present examples of their application and their implications for design. The course will introduce students to ethnographic interviewing, participatory design, co-design activities, and generative techniques, for collecting qualitative data. The course will additionally introduce techniques and tools for coding, analyzing, and informing, design for UX. Some of the techniques and tools include thematic analysis, affinity diagraming, glass-wall mapping, and UX goal-directed personas and scenarios of use.

Objectives Purpose of the Course As a learning objective, students will become familiar with the most appropriate qualitative methods for UX research and design. Through their assignment, they will be exploring the qualitative methods, techniques and tools that we describe in the course and learn how to


collect, analyze, and design for user experiences based on qualitative data. Desired course outcomes: After successful completion of the course, students will be able to Select and apply the most appropriate qualitative UX research and design methods for the UX problems they are assigned. Use qualitative research and design methods to inform UX designers with actionable insights. Undertake UX research and design briefs from start to finish applying qualitative methods.

Teaching methods

A group assignment will help students address questions, including: What is the value of qualitative research and design methods for UX problems? Why is the qualitative method they used the most relevant to their problem? How to apply qualitative research and design methods to inform UX design? What were the limitations of their UX research and design approach? What would they avoid in the future? Presentations (pptx,pdf,prezi) Online questionnaires Quizzes Videos

82. User Experience Design Strategy Language English Content • Previous research highlights the importance of experiences

in the progress of the economic value model (Pine and Gilmore, 2011). Experiences are strongly interconnected with the company's offer and the Brand promise that the company delivers. People use products, services, systems and interact with the companies to experience specific elements of the offering. Previous work in Design Driven Innovation (Verganti, 2008) and in Brand Driven innovation (Abbing and Gessel, 2010), highlight the importance of the Brand identity and Brand image and describe ways of mapping the experience journey of people interacting with the offerings. Designing User experiences for a Brand is one of the most relevant industry practices in UX and various tools and methods are previously designed for this purpose (Abbing and Gessel, 2010).

• When design qualities are aligned to Brand qualities, meaningful experiences can be designed to fullfill the needs of people (Van de Sand et al., 2020). Proposing Technology as an experience (J McCarthy, 2004) incorporates the understanding of the soft value and supports designers in designing unique User Experiences. UX designers should be able to envision the social relationships and feelings of their users when interacting with their digital products or services and state their vision for their designed interactions. Previous work on Vision in Design (Hekkert and Dijk, 2011) by User experience and interaction design pioneers can support towards this direction.

• The course will introduce students to vision in the design method

• identifying the future context for their brand, • identifying future interactions for their brand, • forming mission/vision statements, and designing for a User

experience, • The course will additionally introduce brand dimensions and

elements that brand mature companies incorporate, such as • Mission statement brand image and brand identity, • Brand history, Product portfolio, Brand hierarchy, Brand

portfolio, Brand design, and human-computer interaction/UX,

• UX and competitors analysis, • Human-centered branding (BX, UX and UXi method).

Objectives Purpose of the Course: As a learning objective, students will

become familiar with the most vital branding concepts for designing user experiences with industrial and societal relevance. Through their assignment, the students will be exploring the possibilities of brand design and applying principles, guidelines, and good practices in their designs to enhance the UX of their products.
