The MS in Human-Centered Design and Engineering (HCDE) is a graduate degree designed for students who want to pursue leadership roles in user experience research and design and/or explore, extend, and integrate theoretical and practical issues in design using a human centered approach. The program is 31 semester hours. It addresses the strong need in industry for highly qualified individuals who can research, identify, document and translate user requirements and needs, generate creative ideas, implement and evaluate the products or services in a scientific way. The MS in HCDE is an interdisciplinary program offered by the Department of Industrial and Manufacturing Systems Engineering in the College of Engineering and Computer Science with the participation of the Department of Behavioral Sciences in the College of Arts, Science and Letters at the University of Michigan-Dearborn. Human centered design related jobs are on the rise and appear under various titles, such as user experience designer, user interface designer, interaction designer, usability analyst, and product designer. As in the cases of existing MS degree programs in the College of Engineering and Computer Science, the course offerings for the MS (HCDE) program are mainly in late afternoon and evening hours to enable students to earn the degree through part-time study. The program may be completed entirely on campus, entirely online, or through a combination of on-campus and online courses.
