A key component to the discipline of Information Technology is the

understanding and the advocacy of the user in the development of IT
applications and systems. IT graduates must develop a mind-set that
recognizes the importance of users and organizational contexts. They must
employ user-centered methodologies in the development, evaluation, and
deployment of IT applications and systems. This requires graduates to
develop knowledge of HCI, including but not limited to such areas as user
and task analysis, human factors, ergonomics, accessibility standards, and
cognitive psychology.
o Describe the relationship between the cognitive principles and their
application to interfaces and products.
o Explain the conceptual terms for analyzing human interaction with

Description
2012
This course concerns us with the topic of research. It attempts to define

what research is, why we do research, and the various methods that
researchers use to investigate problems.
It is designed as an under-graduate introduction to research methodology.
Students are assumed to be familiar with statistics (such as mean, standard
deviation, percentiles, and other such terms). The course provides a
framework for conceptualizing research and is meant to underpin the
research project for the final year as well as for the projects delivered for
each subject.
Course Objective
At the end of this course, students will be able to understand:

The terminologies used by professional researchers employing
scientific thinking.
How to formulate a solid research hypothesis (research question).
the basic stages of research design
types of proposals and the contents of each
the issues covered in research ethics
the relationships that exist between variables in research design

and the steps for evaluating those relationships
