Graduate Certificate - Structural Packaging Design and Management (1510)

Program Description The quality of interaction design has emerged as a critical factor in the success or failure of products destined to interact with their users, whether they are digital or otherwise. Designers must consider not just functionality, but also how people respond to, and feel about, the products that they use. This credential will provide students with the opportunity to build a personal toolkit of practical skills and knowledge associated with user experience design for digital products. Working in project-based experiential learning environments, both individually and in teams, they will design products that meet project briefs, and contribute to their personal e-portfolio that demonstrates their ability to integrate design, business and IT elements into products that focus on the human aspect rather than the technologies being utilized.
