In order to be eligible for a second cycle course the applicant needs to fulfil the general and specific entry requirements of the programme that owns the course. (If the second cycle course is owned by a first cycle programme, second cycle entry requirements apply.)
Exeption from the eligibility requirement: Applicants enrolled in a programme at Chalmers where the course is included in the study programme are exempted from fulfilling these requirements.
After the course, the student will have good insights in current trends and novel research areas within interaction design. The aim is that the student will be able to become, and keep, up to date with ongoing research and development within the interaction design field. The actual course content will thus change from time to time.
Describe current trends in interaction design.
Describe novel technological solutions relevant for interaction design.
Analyze and discuss designs in relation to a certain trend.
Analyze and discuss the use of novel technical solutions.
Read, analyze and extract relevant content scientific papers.
Discuss societal consequences of a certain trend, design or technical solution.
Current trends in interaction design.
Novel technological solutions relevant for interaction design.
Different views and approaches in regard to novel trends and technologies.
How to systematically and practically explore and communicate ideas within a design space.
How to read and understand research papers.
The course consists of lectures and seminars, where students are expected to participate actively.
It also consists of a mandatory, individual design project that runs throughout the course. The course is held in English.
Relevant research papers
The course is examined partly by written or oral assignments, and partly via a concluding design project. In order to pass the course, both these parts must be passed.
This course will give an introduction to a number of emerging trends and topics in the field of interaction design, which are relevant to academia as well as to industry and society. The course is structured along two main themes – design and societal challenges – in which we will discuss and explore through design activities the emerging topics and trends and how different aspects of each theme provide opportunities as well as challenges to interaction design professionals, researchers, and society.
