Theory and principles for constructing usable software systems. Cognitive and effective aspects of users. The impact of user characteristics on design decisions. The construction and evaluation of the user interface. Sensory and perceptual aspects of interfaces, task structure, input modalities, screen layout, and user documentation. Individual concerns for systems such as personal productivity tools, real-time control systems, instructional software, and games.

Principles, methodologies, and techniques in designing software architecture. The course introduces the fundamental elements of software systems in the context of the design process. Architectural patterns, design patterns, and software frameworks are covered in depth. How to document design work to an acceptable standard is also covered.
