Human- Centered Design for Data
Human-Centered Design for Data Overview
The Human Centered Design for Data emphasis develops an understanding of theoretical foundations and the necessary hands-on experience to understand the strengths and limitations of different methods. Students learn the significance of each component in the information lifecycle and its impact on technical and social data analytics.
Courses
DATA_SCI 8654 Advanced Visualization and Communication I
Synopsis: Covers the fundamental concepts of current visualization concepts and technologies, adding in Infographic and Interactive Visualization Design. Unlike many data visualization courses, this one focuses on principles of visualization design and the grammar of graphics as they can be applied to combining art and technology to tell data stories. These principles are then implemented in popular contemporary visualization technologies. Students will develop an advanced knowledge of the appropriate selection, modeling, and evaluation of data visualizations.
