University of Washington Department of Human Centered Design & Engineering

The Department of Human Centered Design & Engineering (HCDE) is a department in the College of Engineering, located in Sieg Hall on the University of Washington campus in Seattle, Washington, USA. The Department of Human Centered Design & Engineering (HCDE) was called the Department of Technical Communication until January 2009.

HCDE offers its students a strong education in user-centered design, user-interface design, usability research, human-computer interaction, human-centered computing, human-robot communication, computer-supported cooperative work, and documentation. HCDE students obtain outstanding jobs, primarily in the high-tech industry (e.g., Microsoft, Boeing, IBM, Intel, Amazon, T-Mobile, Google), as user interface and website designers, user interface software developers, user experience researchers and designers, or as developers of software user assistance and other forms of user-centered communication. Our PhD graduates take positions in academia or in industry or government research labs.

HCDE emphasizes student-centered, hands-on learning. Beyond taking traditional classroom courses, students join research groups and work side-by-side internationally recognized faculty to increase the knowledge base of the field. HCDE's educational mission is supported by first-rate facilities. HCDE also has a strong international perspective. From technology adoption in Central Asia to humanitarian logistics in Mozambique to hand-held communication design in Germany, HCDE students and faculty explore what it means to communicate globally.

HCDE prepares students to assume positions of intellectual leadership in industry, government, non-profit organizations, and academia. Whatever their professional direction, HCDE students learn the newest communication technologies and practices, the most effective information-design strategies, and the research skills appropriate to their interests. They also learn the enduring theory and principles that enable them to respond creatively to the constant changes they will encounter throughout their careers. HCDE strives to equip its students to be leaders in designing communication solutions to meet human needs.

The mission[1] of HCDE is to advance design knowledge by using innovative techniques to study human activity and then translating that knowledge into meaningful information and system designs.
