COMPARATIVE STUDY OF HUMAN COMPUTER INTERACTION DESIGN AND SOFTWARE ENGINEERING John D. Fernandez & Larry Young Texas A&M University – Corpus ChristiABSTRACTMany computer science programs require students to complete software engineering and humancomputer interaction (HCI) courses. Upon graduation, these students join other softwareprofessionals in the field to contribute to the development community. However, the differencesin the two approaches to developing interactive software are not addressed so that students leavethe institution without an integrated view of the two methodologies.

acceleration is independent of weight.Again, the Arabic language may have a subtle influence on the concept in question and contributeto the somewhat lower scores among the PI students. The word for gravity in Arabic,“jathibiyah,” has unusual connotations. It implies a force of “attraction” or a “pull.” The sameword is often used interchangeably to refer to magnetism although magnetism is also translated as“goowah magnetisiah” or “magnetic power.” Further research is needed to determine if there is abasic ontological difference between the concepts of gravity and magnetism in the minds of thestudents. This has implications for teaching, as instructors need to explore the connotative anddenotative aspect of English words used to describe scientific

A useful way of categorizing typical introduction to engineering courses has beenpresented by Sheppard and Jenison.1 One dimension contrasts teaching students as individualsversus grouping them in teams. Another dimension contrasts content (such as the traditionalengineering content of kinetics and dynamics, energy, electrical circuits, information and so forth)versus process (in particular, the process of design). On this map, the Union College Introductionto Engineering and Mechatronics course combines the teaching of content on an individual basiswith the teaching of process on a team basis.

In this three credit-hour course, engineering designprocess is taught through team oriented design projects supported by communicationskills: graphical and written. Implementation of project-based learning in ED&G 100course is achieved by assigning a comprehensive project designed to encompass all thefundamental engineering principles covered in the course and to complement the projectsconducted in the associated design laboratory. The capstone project requires students todesign a product to be mass produced

controlled laboratory experiments with children supported these principles (Mayer,1997; Moreno & Mayer, 1999; Mayer, Heiser & Lonn, 2001). In recent years, however,research with so called “pedagogical agents”, which are computerized characters that appear on astudent’s screen to help guide the learning process, has posed some challenges for the modalityprinciple. Though these agents appear to create redundancy for the visual channel when theyappear on a screen with visual information, they still have been found to facilitate learning(Atkinson, 2002).The shear flow study reported here is an attempt to add a data point to the above investigationson the efficacy of hypermedia in learning.

We present our experiences in implementing this approach in one section(32 students) of a freshman introduction to engineering design course. A preliminaryassessment is also presented.1. IntroductionThe use of team projects as a way to teach engineering design is pervasive across allengineering disciplines and throughout the curriculum. The success of any design team --both in learning design concepts and performing well -- requires that students have agood grasp of technical and management aspects of the design process. Accordingly,poor management or lack of communication

Yet, hands-on experience is a vital foundation onwhich to base theory and science.”In the paper, Lessons Learned from Design
