Industrial Engineering with computer specialization. Teaching ExperienceGeorgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, Georgia. [2002] Instructor, CS4750, Human-Computer Interface Design and Evaluation (two sections, 70 students). This is the core course to HCI. Concepts of human factors, interface design, research methodology and evaluation techniques are covered. Students work in design groups on real world projects, propose a research strategy for the design and through a process of data collection, two open-to-the-public poster sessions and design iteration arrive at a final design for which they propose a final research strategy. Cross-listed with PSYC4750. [2003] Supervised Julie Hoffman, an HCI MS Industrial Design student for 2 semesters in her Master’s Design project, a grandparent/grandchild communication device, called Dude’s Magic Box. [2003] Supervised Dan Frazier, a Senior HCI student for 2 semesters in the design of software for a grandparent/grandchild communication device called Dude’s Magic Box. [2002] Supervised Webb McDonald, a Senior HCI student for two semesters in the design of interaction techniques, animated characters and animated behaviors a grandparent/grandchild communication device called Dude’s Magic Box. [2001] Supervised Nimish Gautam, a Senior CS student for one semester in the design of interaction techniques for a grandparent/grandchild communication device called LapDesk. [2001] Supervised Rob Teixeira, a Senior CS student for one semester in the interaction design and production of code for a device to support the collection of ethnographic field notes. [1999] Teaching Assistant to Mark Guzdial, cs2390, Object-Oriented Programming, Modeling and Design. Piedmont College, Demorest, Georgia. Teaching at a small liberal arts college requires that you cover a wide range of topics.
