HCDE Mission

HCDE faculty and students are advancing design knowledge by using innovative techniques to study human activity and then translating that knowledge into meaningful information and system designs. HCDE is designing the future by:

• Considering the role of communication in human activity.
• Prioritizing the needs, desires, and behaviors of people and communities who interact with technical systems.
• Addressing the specifics of design by working with interdisciplinary communities of researchers to build innovative technological solutions.
