Human Computer Interaction (HCI) is an important and often under –emphasized subject in undergraduate computer science curricula. This capstone project involves the summarization of the key HCI principles through a review of current literature, an interview with an expert from the psychology field, and a review of existing HCI courses at other institutions. It then takes those theories, summarizes the key concepts, and recommends a curriculum for an undergraduate HCI course. Finally to practice the concepts a review of the homepage of the University of North Carolina at Wilmington’s adherence to design rules is evaluated, and suggestions are made to more effectively apply HCI principles.
