IHC na Especialização em Engenharia de Software: discussões sobre uma experiência prática

This paper presents a HCI teaching experience in a Software Engineering specialization course. In this course, the disciplines are connected directly or indirectly through a common project in which the practical activities should be conducted in a constructive way. The HCI discipline, with 24 hours, aims to train students for understanding users and their needs, and for prototyping solutions. Students, mainly professionals working in the industry, usually have no prior contact with HCI, reinforcing the discipline’s responsibility in training and spreading/clarifying HCI as a professional field. This paper reports the way the discipline was conducted, the techniques and tools used, and presents the results of two evaluations that indicate its acceptance.
