  5. Preliminary survey data analysis 1. Central topics in HCI education: • Design process: user research; requirements analysis • Ethnographic methods • Methods of usability and evaluation • Usability tests • User centered design

  6. Preliminary survey data analysis 2. Challenges in defining and situating HCI in academia: • General HCI relevance • HCI in Computer Science • Common curriculum? • Curriculum support for different specializations

  7. Preliminary survey data analysis 3. HCI in Computer Science: • Conceptual subjects • Technical subjects • Anti-Computer Science sentiments

  9. Preliminary survey data analysis 5. Design: • Conceptual knowledge • Design principles and theories

  10. Preliminary survey data analysis 6. Problems in HCI education: • Gap between research and practice • Preparing students for jobs

  11. Preliminary survey data analysis 7. Related fields: • Social sciences • Ergonomics

  12. Practitioners’ perspective • General user research and requirements analysis • Methods for usability and evaluation • Methods for ideation and design • Conceptual knowledge of design • Supporting the acquisition of soft skills • Tools and techniques for design

  13. Preliminary interview analysis Suggestions and needs: • Update curriculum with support for diff. tracks • Database for programs with different focal points and evaluation • PhD qualifier • Recommendations for part-time and short term courses and workshops for practitioners • Support ongoing conversation on HCI education (esp. at CHI)

  14. Next steps for the research team • Web page, social media presence • Continue interviews to cover all perspectives • Create and distribute detailed survey with variations for students, professors, practitioners • Solicit feedback from current participants • Start and facilitate general public discussion on HCI education needs

  15. Next steps for SIGCHI • Support web page with discussion board and email feedback • Help finding survey participants through email lists from local chapters and communities within SIGCHI • Post link to the Education Project on SIGCHI homepage • Work with Sally Fincher on HCI issues in CS2013
