Information Session - localization @ UW

Human Centered Design & Engineering is hosting an information session on our certificate program focused on localization, called Global Technology & Communication Management. If you are interested in international policies and how markets impact the design of technology, then you are highly encouraged to attend this session.

This program is three quarters long, with one course each quarter, with classes on: international user experience, localization management, and international product management. We will have instructors and industry experts to talk about the curriculum (which is credit bearing, graduate coursework from HCDE).

The faculty is encouraging students from language programs, international studies, and other related fields to attend and learn more about how to apply your skills to the design of technology.

Our guest speakers are Carla DiFranco and Hiram Machado. Carla is a program manager at Microsoft for Windows International and Hiram is the president and co-founder of adaQuest, a program and project management-based organization that helps companies localize software into new markets around the world.
