# HCI 申請 Word Choice ###### tags: `master`, `design` # SOP > 我看到什麼問題？ 我覺得 UIUX 可以怎麼解決？ 台灣一直都是以硬體代工聞名，所以企業的思維多是「只要把東西做好就會成功」，想的不是服務對象、問題定義，而是直接進工程，規劃如何用最小成本有效開發，但我發現如果這個東西沒有解決到使用者的痛點，東西再怎麼好用都沒有用，我們的社會其實不缺少優秀的人才，但因為太習慣這種 Just do it 的思維，所以常常讓這些優秀的人才開發出沒有用的產品，導致時間和金錢上資源的浪費。 我認為唯有透過 uiux 重新去研究、定義問題，找出值得被解決的痛，才能讓團隊的努力發揮最大的價值，因此我想成為一個 ux exgineer，去協助團隊找出核心問題，並透過自身的工程訓練做評估測試，確保每一個產出的結晶都能服務到用戶身上，讓做出的產品幫助人們使生活變得更好。 ## Program ### Stanford :::success * We believe that designers need to be responsible for the “last mile” of the design process. * Our program is project-based, highly immersive, and is based on **design thinking**, the human-centered design process pioneered at Stanford. * We focus on the strategic without sacrificing the actionable, creating innovative and tangible solutions. * In our work on products, services, systems, and experiences, **empathy** is our guiding principle. * We are looking for someone who will make an impact in the world through design and design thinking.

Our students learn to design new tools, analyze human activities, organize information, and ensure technology serves its intended users ::: [Information Experience Lab](https://ixlab.ischool.utexas.edu/) The lab is a research facility dedicated to the science of information studies, the empirically-based design of human-information interaction, and the education of students in the process of both, conduct experiments on human-information processing, usability, accessibility, and other studies of interactions between humans and information sources. > 研究導向，多為視覺動線分析 ### UC Berkeley :::info * Training Tomorrow's Technology Leaders * The MIMS program produces leaders who work at the intersection of technology, information, and people. * Technical expertise alone is not sufficient for success; I School graduates will be expected to perform and manage a multiplicity of information related tasks. ::: > https://ctsp.berkeley.edu/about/#focus ### IUB :::success * Solve problems creatively * creates professionals who will shape the future of design * Contribute engaging user experiences * Serve the need of stakeholders * Facilitate communication * Enrich the lives of the people using them ::: > [Student Experience](https://medium.com/@adititheresa/hci-d-students-of-indiana-university-share-their-experiences-7e6dcf32b388) > https://soco.luddy.indiana.edu/ > https://womenandtech.indiana.edu/about/index.html ### [Michigan](https://www.si.umich.edu/programs/master-science-information) :::warning * Information professionals unite people, data and technology to make life better. * We answer pressing questions about how technology affects social, cultural, political and commercial life. * In every case we ask: > 1. What do people need to improve their lives? > 2. How can information help? > 3. How can we design technology to make it happen? [color=orange] * Why study information? Because information changes everything. * an emphasis on practical, experiential learning * a culture that fosters social impact * One strength of the program is its **interdisciplinarity** * MSI students who focus on this area can learn qualitative and quantitative research skills to understand HCI/UX, as well as design skills to improve interfaces. * useable information you can take into the field and make meaningful contributions. * stonge industry connection ::: > "I can apply what I'm learning—this way of design thinking—to possibly any field," Lily says. "That's what fascinates me about user-experience design, I can see myself working on a diverse set of innovative products that I'm passionate about.” ### [Maryland](https://ischool.umd.edu/academics/master-of-science-in-human-computer-interaction) :::info * create innovative technologies that transform the way people connext to information * Through an interdisciplinary curriculum, students are uniquely prepared to leverage information technology for positive social impact, develop interfaces for users of all ages and abilities, and understand modern design methodology. * This innovative curriculum blends theory, practical skills, and hands-on learning. * ::: https://trace.umd.edu/projects/ ### [GaTech](http://www.mshci.gatech.edu/program/about) :::warning * The research done in Georgia Tech's Master of Science in HCI seeks to develop user interfaces that are **useful, usable, and enjoyable**. * It focuses on activities ranging from design to development to evaluation of computer systems, with a goal of understanding **how computers and technology affect people and society**. ::: * [course](http://www.mshci.gatech.edu/program/courses) * http://www.mshci.gatech.edu/sites/default/files/pdf/MS-HCI-2016-Overview.pdf * http://designstudio.gatech.edu/research.html ## Word Choice ### How * smoothing out complex user interface * translating idea into UI design * generate novel solutions to the complex problems facing our society and our planet. * creat engaging interactions * Build prototype to answer questions ### What * Problem-framing, ideation, brainstorming * Identify and address user and stakeholder information and resource needs in context. * Intentionally organize collections of information and other resources to support human and/or machine-based interactions and services. * Analyze complex relationships and practical choices at the intersection of technical design, policy frameworks, and ethics. * Understand and apply architectural, computational, and algorithmic thinking and principles of concurrency to the design of information systems. * Scope, plan and manage open-ended projects, both individually and in teams. * Present findings and conclusions persuasively. ### Why # CV * [185 Powerful Action Verbs That Will Make Your Resume Awesome](https://www.themuse.com/advice/185-powerful-verbs-that-will-make-your-resume-awesome) * I weave together strong design capabilities with technical know-how.
