Information Session: Global Technology & Communication Management and User-Centered Design

The Department of Human Centered Design & Engineering is hosting an information session for two graduate certificate programs: Global Technology & Communication Management (GTCM) and User-Centered Design (UCD).

What: Graduate Certificate Information Session
When: Wednesday, May 18th at 6PM – 7PM
Where: Sieg Hall, room 420

Global Technology & Communication Management:
GTCM is designed for professionals interested in technology design and localization. This graduate certificate is a series of three courses that focus on international user-experience, the management of the localization process, and international product management. Graduates of the program will be able to manage a localization team and determine best strategies for managing effective global technology and communication projects.

User-Centered Design:
UCD is a four course, graduate certificate that explores a wide range of issues related to usability testing, and the user-centered design process. Students learn about sophisticated planning and development methods to ensure intuitive, user-friendly product development. Study the latest theories and explore tools and techniques to keep user needs, desires and potential obstacles at the forefront of each stage of the design process.

All coursework in these programs are all credit-bearing, graduate coursework and can be applied towards our MS in HCDE. Students in both programs interact with faculty, industry professionals, students in our graduate programs, and have access to all departmental career resources.
