User Interface Engineering (UIE) WiSe 2024/25
Enrollment
- 4SWS course only
This course will be offered as a 4 SWS (2/2/0) course. Participants will be graded on the exercise in addition to the exam for full credits.
- Opal enrollment
The enrollment will take place via the User Interface Engineering Opal Course, regardless of the study course (link follows soon).
- Enrollment period
General enrollment will be opened on 02.10.2026 at 1 PM and end on 15.10.26 at 3 PM.
Please contact us via email (Katja Krug, Weizhou Luo, Susmita Khadse) if there are any issues with the enrollment.
- Enrollment lists
Please enroll only on your courses corresponding enrollment lists (MINF, CMS, HPSTS). If your course of study is not listed (e.g., ERASMUS students), please enroll on the MISC list and contact the supervisors via e-mail. If your list is full, please enroll on the waiting list. Students who falsely enroll on lists that are not their study course will be put on the waiting list. - Since this course has limited capacities, it is recommended to enroll early.

Description
In the future, effective user interfaces and attractive user experience will play an increasingly important role for products that are getting more and more functionally similar and immaterial.
Especially the development of novel, more natural user interfaces places completely new demands on a structured development process. With classical software & usability engineering approaches, this process cannot be covered.
In this context, the lecture will explain modern development processes ranging from analysis to evaluation and present the involved techniques. In addition to the engineering-centered approaches, creative design phases play an important role as well.
These phases comprise the creation of sketches, drawings and early prototypes.
