Our full-stack web development concentration is part of an undergraduate graphic information technology degree program online. As a graphic information technology student in this concentration, you’ll study the basic theories of graphic design with a focus on software and web development.
Our semiconductor processing certificate is an academic program for graduate students who want to learn the process of creating semiconductor devices.
The master’s in user experience online program addresses UX research, design, content development, communication, tone of voice and evaluation of all interfaces, components and products with which end users interact. This includes hardware and software user interfaces, informational products, identifying user needs, tasks, procedures, capabilities and limitations when using technology and interacting with information.
Examples of interfaces you’ll learn to optimize UX for include:
Human systems engineering is a field devoted to designing, developing, implementing and evaluating systems. These complex systems are consistent with human capabilities and limitations. User experience (UX) is a subdivision of human systems engineering. UX designers focus on improving the usability of computer interfaces. They also make human-computer interactions more accessible and pleasurable.
Human systems engineers consider human factors, such as human capabilities and limitations, to design technology that works well for the people who use it. An individual driving a car is a familiar example of a human-machine system. The driver receives information from outside the vehicle (traffic, sights and sounds) and from within the vehicle (the car’s gauges). The driver continuously evaluates this information to make a series of decisions as he continues to his destination.
Mechanical engineering is the most diverse and versatile field of engineering. This specialization of engineering plays a critical role in many modern industries. These industries include aerospace, construction, power, technology and transportation.
Big data describes the massive amount and variety of data being generated to support our knowledge economy. While some data is “at rest,” real-time processing of “data in motion” is vital for many applications. These include fraud detection systems, financial services, mobile/location-aware services, credit card authentication and health care.
The field of graphic information technology is evolving to include visual design technologists with the skills needed to bridge the divide between designers and engineers. This allows organizations to efficiently build state-of-the-art digital experiences that realize the designer’s vision and function well at scale.
