May 2009
Bieber et al., NJIT ©2009 - Slide 2
Overview• Why NJIT?• HCI focus at NJIT• Undergrad: BS HCI• Masters: – Degrees: MS IS, MS BME, MS PTC– Grad Certificates:
Physiology & HCI, User-centered Design
• PhD: Human-Centered Computing• Research• Challenges & Call for Collaboration• Contacts
Bieber et al., NJIT ©2009 - Slide 3
Why NJIT?• Flexible degrees– Courses, schedule (part or full time; e-learning)
• Opportunities to work closely with faculty– Many research & industry connections
• Location– 3 subway stops from Newark Penn Station
– Close to major highways
– Renovated campus
Bieber et al., NJIT ©2009 - Slide 4
HCI Focus @ NJIT• Information Systems (IS)– Within pervasive computing & social networks– Human-centered computing• technical focus• analysis, design, implementation, evaluation
• Biomedical/IS – Physiological interfaces• especially for rehabilitation
• Prof & Technical Communications (PTC)– User-centered design
Bieber et al., NJIT ©2009 - Slide 5
Physiological-based HCI• Focus on – human physiology
– analyze, design, implement and evaluate • computing-based interaction with human physiology
• Interaction examples – video games
• to make rehabilitation interesting and challenging
– virtual or physical interaction • with motorized assistive and rehabilitation devices
– simulations for medical personnel and researchers• Prior computing experience is not required
Bieber et al., NJIT ©2009 - Slide 6
BS HCI• Joint program– Information Systems (NJIT)– Psychology (Rutgers Newark)
• Focus on– Graphic design– Cognitive psychology– Human-centered design– Technology implementation
Bieber et al., NJIT ©2009 - Slide 7
MS Degrees
MS Biomedical Engineering (MS BME)
• Core Courses (5)– Physiology, Computer Methods– Cognitive Science, HCC Research Methods– Masters Capstone Project
