1 Bieber et al., NJIT ©2009 - Slide 1 HCI @ NJIT Michael Bieber New Jersey Institute of Technology http://is.njit.edu/ 3/24/09

2 Bieber et al., NJIT ©2009 - Slide 2 Overview Why NJIT? HCI focus at NJIT Undergrad: BS HCI Masters: –Degrees: MS IS, MS BME, MS PTC –Grad Certificates: Biomed Interaction, UC Design PhD: Human-Centered Computing Research Challenges & Call for Collaboration Contacts

3 Bieber et al., NJIT ©2009 - Slide 3 Why NJIT? Flexible degrees –Courses, schedule (part or full time; e-learning) Opportunities to work closely with faculty –Many research & industry connections Location –3 subway stops from Newark Penn Station –Close to major highways –Renovated campus

4 Bieber et al., NJIT ©2009 - Slide 4 HCI Focus @ NJIT Information Systems (IS) –Within pervasive computing & social networks –Human-centered computing technical focus analysis, design, implementation, evaluation Biomedical/IS –Physiological interfaces especially for rehabilitation Prof & Technical Communications (PTC) –User-centered design

5 Bieber et al., NJIT ©2009 - Slide 5 Biomedical Interaction Design Focus on –human physiology –analyze, design, implement and evaluate computing-based interaction with human physiology Interaction examples –video games to make rehabilitation interesting and challenging –virtual or physical interaction with motorized assistive and rehabilitation devices –simulations for medical personnel and researchers Prior computing experience is not required

6 Bieber et al., NJIT ©2009 - Slide 6 BS HCI Joint program –Information Systems (NJIT) –Psychology (Rutgers Newark) Focus on –Graphic design –Cognitive psychology –Human-centered design –Technology implementation
