New Academic Program Proposal for a Bachelor of Science Degree Program in Human-Centered Computing

1

1. Program Description and Purpose

Provide a narrative overview of the proposed program that includes the following:

a) Provide a brief description of the program as it will appear in the institution’s catalog.

Fundamental to Human-Centered Computing (HCC) is a focus on humans as individuals and in social contexts, and their behavior with technology. With roots in multiple areas of computing, arts, and social sciences, HCC blends strength from these varied disciplines to understand the way in which people use technology.

Students of this degree will be at the intersection of computer advancements and understanding human behavior with technology. Topics of consideration include the design, evaluation and implementation of interactive computing systems and the understanding of ways in which such systems can transform our lives. With a blending of content from Computing, Psychology, and Design, HCC blends core theoretical and applied human-technology concepts in a contemporary interdisciplinary curricular model.

Given the growing reliance on computing in our daily lives, technology no longer is the exclusive realm of tech-

savvy users; industry has recognized the need to make software and devices that are usable and desirable. This

degree will prepare students for careers in industry or graduate study, offering options to specialize in different

areas of HCC depending on individual student interests in computing, design, or psychology.

b) List educational and (if appropriate) career outcomes. Describe any specific curricular features that incorporate rigorous academic and career preparation.

1. Program Goal: “Students will study how people interact with technology”

a. Educational Outcomes - Graduates will be able to:

i. Gather user, client, and system needs/data and translate into technical and aesthetic

specifications and requirements.

c) Describe how the program fits with and advances the institution’s mission,

vision, values and reputation.

Vision: RIT will lead higher education in preparing students for innovative, creative, and successful careers in a

global society.

Mission: RIT’s mission is to provide a broad range of career-oriented educational programs with the goal of

producing innovative, creative graduates who are well-prepared for their chosen careers in a global society.

The RIT community engages and motivates students through stimulating and collaborative experiences. We

rigorously pursue new and emerging career areas. We develop and deliver curricula and advance scholarship and

research relevant to emerging technologies and social conditions.

Our community is committed to diversity and student centeredness and is distinguished by our innovative and

collaborative spirit. Internal and external partnerships expand our students’ experiential learning.

RIT is committed to mutually enriching relationships with alumni, government, business, and the world

community. Teaching, learning, scholarship, research, innovation, and leadership development for promoting

student success are our central enterprises.

The HCC program is an excellent example of a cross disciplinary degree that will prepare students for an

innovative, creative and globally aware career. There is growing reliance on computing in our daily lives;

technology, devices and interfaces are pervasive. Industry has recognized the need to make software and

devices that are usable, predictive and desirable. This degree will prepare students for careers in industry

or graduate study, offering options to specialize in different areas of HCC depending on individual student

interests in computing, design, or psychology.

The students produced within the HCC degree will have innovative insights into human behavior with

relation to computing. Studying the various disciplines (computing, psychology, design) while learning the

methods of research and testing gives the students inventive ways of looking at social contexts within

society. Developing prototypes while exploring emerging technical areas will enable the students to do

extensive testing to assess the success/technical feasibility of their chosen solution. Students will obtain a

background understanding of human information processing and of quantitative and qualitative research

methods and testing, applying these skills to the technology of today.

A hallmark of this B.S. degree will be the participation of students in the development and evaluation of

new interaction experiences through co-ops, student and/or faculty initiated research, and a final year

project. The year long senior project course, taken in conjunction with students in the Computing and

Information Technologies undergraduate degree as well as students in the Web & Mobile Computing

undergraduate degree, is designed enhance teamwork, cutting across disciplines and even borders. The

students based on the Rochester campus will be put on teams with students in our Dubai and Croatia

campuses, placing students in situations of working in a global community with their future peers. The

HCC students focus will not only be on developing the interfaces of these projects, but also the usability

and accessibility for a wide range of users.

d) Describe the justification and documented need for this program and how

this program contributes to RIT’s strategic plan priorities and key result areas.

This program continues RIT’s tradition of technical education in fields of importance to industry and society. The

proposed program is designed to capitalize on the existing expertise in the multiple participating departments,

leveraging their existing portfolio of courses to create a deeper field of study.

This HCC B.S. degree will add to the RIT portfolio of professional degrees. It will be distinguished from existing

degree programs in the colleges by providing students methods, computing, and / or psychology expertise that is

not currently available, in combination. The HCC degree will supplement learning for students with those

interests, allowing them to gain valuable skills in research methods, psychology, and to enter jobs that require

this additional skill set. This degree will prepare students for careers in industry or graduate study, offering

options to specialize in different areas of HCC depending on individual student interests in computing, design, or

psychology.

While many other universities offer a graduate degree in the field of human computer interface (e.g., DePaul,

Georgia Tech, University of Washington) and several universities offer minors or concentrations at the

undergraduate level (e.g., Virginia Tech, Univ. of Illinois), there are very few undergraduate degree programs in

this field. RIT will join a very small group of universities (NJIT, CMU) that combine the fields of psychology,

design, and computing to produce graduates that are capable of designing not just graphical user interfaces, but

transforming the way we interact with technology. A key aspect of the RIT degree, not seen in other programs,

will be the inclusion of accessibility as a design consideration.

The Human-Centered Computing (HCC) undergraduate program will contribute to the achievement of the

university’s key result areas in the following manner;

Be renowned for student success- The multi-disciplinary, multi-national capstone experience that occurs

in the senior year includes work that builds on their core subjects. These capstone projects are likely to

be exhibited at ‘Imagine RIT’ and other events. The diversity of skills the graduate acquires will be an

outstanding fit with the current and future needs in the field of user-centered computing.

Maximize opportunities for scholarship- students will be encouraged and academically prepared to

perform scholarly work with the faculty of all three participating departments.

Execute operational excellence- Operational excellence is defined in this context as efficient use of

resources and employment potential and placement. Initially this degree will add only a slight additional

teaching burden to the resources already allocated for teaching, as a majority of the courses already

exist. As enrollments grow, additional sections and resources will be required. However only a small

number of these sections will be dedicated solely to this degree program.

Achieve the highest level of stakeholder satisfaction- The HCC undergraduate program is aimed at

students seeking to advance their education, cultivating an overlap of curricular areas that didn’t exist in

concert before. The participating departments have created a new experience for the students, where

the overlap in interdisciplinary areas add strength to each other. Faculty, experienced in instruction and

course design, were recruited to look for these areas of intersection, maximizing the learning

experience of students, achieving satisfaction with the courses individually and the program as a whole.

e) Describe curricular features that address emerging disciplines and related

student and faculty scholarship, research and creativity.

Through HCC, RIT has an opportunity to build a large-scale collaborative endeavor across departments, colleges, and even geographical locations to pursue teaching and research in human computer interaction, language processing in computing, information design, interactivity in new media, and non-traditional users through accessibility. The proposed degree program is designed to create opportunities for students to explore user behavior techniques and methodologies to pose novel questions and solutions, and to develop the kinds of expertise to apply new knowledge and skills in the digital-based culture and markets in which we live. Given our institution’s established history of career-focused curriculum and cooperative education opportunities, RIT is uniquely poised to satisfy both the demands of our students for interdisciplinary education and the modern workplace for creative and adaptive graduates. The first two years of the proposed HCC curriculum balances general liberal arts courses with courses in computing, design and psychology with new human-centered computing core courses. This combination builds technical capability while giving the students a well-rounded perspective; the HCC core courses will make explicit the similarities and differences in user ability, user behavior and computational approaches to problem solving. In the third and fourth years students develop a specialization in an area of their choice and complete two semesters of co-op opportunities to connect their classroom knowledge to the needs of the workplace. RIT already possesses the necessary infrastructure, including both faculty expertise and computer facilities, to deliver this curriculum. Additionally, curricular partnerships are now in place between the three colleges to accommodate students’ interdisciplinary and collaborative needs. RIT has a history of faculty and student scholarship in Human-Centered Computing fields. In addition to faculty-led research in the areas of human computer interaction, collaborative technology, accessibility, geographic information systems, wearable computing, and other emerging fields, there is a vibrant community of students with interest in human-centered computing projects, including a student chapter of the Association for Computing Machinery’s special interest group on Computer-Human Interaction. With an interdisciplinary perspective, the Human-Centric Multi-Modal Modeling Group unites researchers across several colleges at RIT who combine methodologies of human-centered design, visual perception, imaging science, and computational linguistics to study the influence of perceptual expertise and domain knowledge on complex visual tasks. In addition, RIT has long been a leader in the field of accessibility, and there has been exciting recent growth in the number of faculty and research projects focused on technologies for people with a variety of capabilities, including older adults, people who are deaf and hard-of-hearing, and people with visual impairments. With the significant faculty scholarship in these areas, students will have the opportunity to participate in research projects, conduct independent studies in cutting-edge topics, and develop their creative and independent research skills. With courses and concentrations available in these fields, students will be well prepared to take advantage of these hands-on scholarly and creative opportunities.

f) Excepting general education requirements, describe and list documented

curricular interconnections and integration between this program and other disciplines, programs and colleges at the University (e.g., minors,

concentrations, BS/MS options).

At its heart, HCC is an evolving discipline, addressing the implementation, design, and user understanding of

rapidly emerging technologies. A recent survey of HCC educators revealed that the greatest needs within the

profession are for an understanding of methods, encompassing both design and empirical methods for product


5

testing[ACM SIGCHI 2012 Report of Education Activities]. This emphasis underscores the need to develop critical

analytical skills, the ability to frame problems, and knowledge of appropriate methodologies. Professionals must

be able to critically analyze and evaluate a variety of user designs, requiring expertise in both methods that

quantify effectiveness as well as methods that evaluate user abilities and experiences. The program, therefore,

will promote the development of skills appropriate for evaluating the usability, effectiveness, and desirability of

interaction experiences. To address these, course competencies will come from instruction in:

Computing (GCCIS): Foundations of HCI, prototyping/rapid development, usability testing, user-

centered design methods, web tools and development, interface programming, user interface design,

accessibility, social and ethical dimensions of computing, information visualization, software design

principles, social computing, immersion and the media interface and innovation.

Design (CIAS): Digital media, design, layout, typography and web interactions, enabling students to

apply design processes into simulations and prototypes for interactive projects.

Psychology (COLA): Cognitive psychology (memory and attention; decision making and problem

solving), research methods / statistics, social psychology, and perception (color, form and object

perception).

This is an interdisciplinary program in nature. Faculty from computing, new media design and psychology were

involved in the planning and will be delivering the courses and doing the research with the student population.

The program requires an imperative collaboration between GCCIS, CIAS and COLA. The intersection between

computing, design and psychology is paramount in the students understanding of human subjects as they

interact digitally.

The program contains 4 core Psychology courses in the first two years. These courses are intended to give the

students grounding in the psychology of subjects - computing users, their behaviors and why they exhibit the

traits that they do - while learning the fundamentals of research.

During the first two years, students will be taking a year of digital design – learning the fundamentals of design,

the tools of designers and the design process. While they study design, they will be applying these concepts to

the Web realm as they study the technology of Web design and differing form factors (mobile). They will also be

studying the ethics involved in computing and solving problems in technology.

In the third and fourth years, students can pick two concentration tracks from several choices. Concentrations

will come in the form of accessibility, psychology, design, front-end development and instructional technology.

Students will be required to participate in 2 co-op requirements starting at the end of their sophomore year and

finishing before their senior year, giving the students an opportunity to work with clients.

During their final year, students will be required to take a Senior Project course. This course will be populated

with all of the other students in the Information Sciences & Technologies Department. These multidisciplinary

teams will include students who have spent their college careers studying mobile development, web application

development, database development and networking and system administration. These teams will be given a

year long ‘real world’ assignment, learning not only how to elicit information from clients but also how to work in

teams with peers of varying, but analogous foci.

g) Describe the role of faculty in the program’s design.

Faculty within the Departments of Information Sciences & Technologies, Psychology, and New Media Design

believe the HCC undergraduate program will be a strong complement to existing programs, utilize all of the

expertise and ability of the faculty, provide a viable, educational opportunity for students interested in the field,

and be a unique offering among US universities. While the IST Department has taken the lead in coordination of

this new degree, the faculty all three departments have worked collaboratively to define the program and

develop the courses. These courses will be taught by the each department’s faculty who have the capacity and

expertise to teach in the computing, design and psychology disciplines.

h) Input of External partners

Below are the external partners we queried about the degree to gain their insight and support. They provided feedback of how this degree program will provide and serve the educational objectives of the student population – as well as the future job market. The letters are included in Appendix D. External partners were selected on the basis of their academic and professional standing in human-centered computing fields, and they include representatives from both academic and industrial settings. Several of the external partners are well-known and highly-cited researchers in the field of human-computer interaction, including winners of best-paper awards at the ACM SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems and other professional honors. Several external partners have first-hand experience in undergraduate and graduate academic programs in computer science and human computer interaction, including leadership roles in these programs (e.g., director or prior department chair) with involvement in the acceptance of students to advanced programs of study. Other external partners have risen to key leadership roles with hiring responsibility in the industrial sector, and they are able to offer valuable insight on the career options available to future graduates of the Bachelor of Science degree program in Human-Centered Computing. The feedback from the external partners was reviewed and folded into this degree proposal. Specifically, the curricular suggestions we implemented:

Emphasis in the design courses will not be tool based but rather about the techniques and methods that designers use.

Ensuring that the students would have a solid background in programming, from the Mobile, Web and generic points of view.

Programming for different devices (smart phones, tablets, etc.) will be approached from the start in the 2 specific programming courses (ISTE-120 & ISTE-121) as well as the Web & Mobile courses (ISTE-140 & ISTE-240)

Concern about qualitative methods is addressed. It is our view that the program presents students with the opportunity to learn the methods and behavioral measures used in experimental psychology. The senior capstone will require HCC majors to work with colleagues in other IST disciplines and Psychology or Design, and methods appropriate to the projects will be put in practice. These will require student ‘get the right design’ as well as ‘designing right’ as they develop solutions.

GCCIS-ISTE-392 Fundamentals of Instructional Technology


14

Instructional Technology encompasses the basic processes for developing and delivering instruction. Instructional Systems Design (ISD) is a well-established methodology for describing knowledge and skills and developing instructional systems to effectively conveying knowledge. This course enables the student to be able to plan, organize, and systematically develop instructional materials. The course uses an ISD model to analyze, design, deliver, and evaluate instruction.

GCCIS-ISTE-394 Interactive Courseware Computer software that teaches is referred to as courseware. This course is a continuation of Fundamentals of Instruction Technology (ISTE-392), and serves as a transition from general instructional design principles to the actual application of these principles in a computer-based environment. Although the basic principles of instructional design hold true in all media environments, using these teaching and learning principles is somewhat different when developing instruction that will be delivered by computer. This course teaches procedures that already have been successful in the design and development of courseware. (ISTE-392, ISTE-121 or equivalent programming background)

CLA-ENGL-351 Language Technology We will explore the relationship between language and technology from the invention of writing systems to current natural language and speech technologies. Topics include script decipherment, machine translation, automatic speech recognition and generation, dialog systems, computational natural language understanding and inference, as well as language technologies that support users with language disabilities. We will also trace how science and technology are shaping language, discuss relevant artificial intelligence concepts, and examine the ethical implications of advances in language processing by computers. Students will have the opportunity to experience text analysis with relevant tools. This is an interdisciplinary course and technical background is not required.

CLA-ENGL-481 Introduction to Natural Language Processing This course provides theoretical foundation as well as hands-on (lab-style) practice in computational approaches for processing natural language text. The course will have relevance to various disciplines in the humanities, sciences, computational, and technical fields. We will discuss problems that involve different components of the language system (such as meaning in context and linguistic structures). Students will additionally collaborate in teams on modeling and implementing natural language processing and digital text solutions. We will program in Python and use the Natural Language Toolkit and related tools (such as Weka). Required previous coursework: Language Technology or a programming class (or a similar course with instructor’s consent).

CLA-ENGL-582 Advanced Topics in Computational Processing Study of a focus topic of increased complexity in computational linguistics. The focus topic varies each semester. Students will develop skills in computational linguistics analysis in a laboratory setting, according to professional standards. A research project plays a central role in the course. Students will engage with relevant research literature, research design and methodology, project development, and reporting in various formats. Prerequisite: Introduction to Natural Language Processing or instructor’s consent.

These projections include incremental resources needed including personnel (faculty and support personnel [administrative, secretarial, technical, teaching/research assistants]), General Education sections needed, library, equipment, laboratories, supplies and expenses; capital expenditures.


24

Table 5: New Resources List the costs of the new resources that will be engaged specifically as a result of the new program (e.g., a new faculty position or additional library resources). New resources for a given year should be carried over to the following year(s), with adjustments for inflation, if they represent a continuing cost.


25

5. Library Resources

a) Summarize the analysis of library resources for this program by the collection librarian and program faculty. Include an assessment of existing library resources and their accessibility to students.

The library reviewed the proposal and determined that the proposed B.S. in Human-Centered Computing program with have a minimal impact on the library’s services and collections. The new program is making no requests for new books, new journal titles, or new database subscriptions. The RIT Libraries’ current interdisciplinary collection of journals, books, and databases already supports the M.S. program in Human Computer Interaction, as well as programs in New Media Design and Psychology.

b) Describe the institution’s response to identified needs and its plan for library development.

There are no additional needs for library development.

Note: Include a supporting letter from appropriate RIT librarian in Appendix C that addresses 5a; and 5b) above and includes a summary of present holdings and a list of required new acquisitions with cost estimate.


26

6. Admissions and Enrollment

a) List all program admissions requirements for the proposed program Undergraduate programs: SAT, ACT, high school GPA, transfer GPA, TOEFL score for international students, special

requirements (e.g., portfolio).

Admission for high school graduates will be consistent with the policies and practices of Undergraduate Admissions within the Division of Enrollment Management.

o The projections are based upon an assessment of the College Board’s Student Search Service data using the following parameters to determine the level of interest in the student market: Combined PSAT scores at 110 or higher, high school grades of B+ or higher, and high school class rank in the top quartile of the graduating class. Entering transfer students would generally present a GPA of 3.0 or higher for admission.

Borderline transfer student applications can be reviewed by the Program Coordinator. A minimum of a 3.0 GPA is desired in pertinent coursework.

International students: As per RIT policy D2, ‘The U.S. Government expects international students to prove competency in the English language prior to their acceptance to an American college or university. In keeping with this expectation, students whose native language is not English and who’s secondary or higher education was completed in a non-native English speaking country must take a test of English language proficiency. Students must achieve the following minimum scores prior to consideration for admission: 550 paper-based or 79 internet-based on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), or 6.5 on the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) or 58 on the Pearson Test of English-Academic.’

b) Describe the process for evaluating exceptions to admission requirements

Admission to this BS program will be consistent with the policies and practices of Undergraduate admissions within the Division of Enrollment Management.

c) How will institution encourage enrollment by persons from groups historically described as underrepresented in the discipline or

occupation? Within the Information Sciences & Technologies Department, the HCI MS degree has shown enrollment of 44% women. This number is far above the recruitment numbers of women in computing throughout GCCIS. The interdisciplinary foundation of this degree, drawing from Design and Psychology, both of which attract significant numbers of female undergraduates, will serve to ensure diversity of enrollment in terms of gender.

can be made available for users, and they will learn how to design websites and software

that work effectively with a user’s own technology. Specific technologies discussed in

the course may include, e.g.: alternative input devices, communication devices, and

screen readers and magnifiers for people with visual impairments. Programming is

required.

Computing students wishing to learn about designing for accessibility who meet the

prerequisites.




Accessibility course. In this course, students will explore how accessibility and assistive

technologies intersect with human development and aging; this course focuses especially

on access technology in education contexts (for children and young adults) and designing

accessibility for older adults with diverse capabilities. Another goal for this course is to

give students an opportunity to understand or interact with potential users of access

technology in education or aging contexts, through guest speakers or class visits. As

such, the course benefits from the presence of many deaf and hard-of-hearing students at

RIT. The specific disabilities discussed may include, e.g.: learning disabilities, cognitive

disabilities (including dementia and stroke-related impairments), hearing loss, reduced

vision, and reduced motor coordination. The specific technologies discussed during the

course will likely change over time to reflect advances in the field and the particular

expertise of the instructor.



ISTE-464 Accessibility Through the Lifespan

Students will explore how accessibility and assistive technologies intersect with aging

throughout the lifespan, with a particular focus on the early and later stages of human

development, including: educational contexts (for children or young adults) and effective

design strategies for promoting accessibility for older adults with diverse capabilities.

Students will learn key legal regulations that govern special education and accessibility in

educational contexts, including the provision of assistive technologies and the

accessibility of instructional technologies. Students will also explore typical changes in

ability and impairments that relate to the human aging process, and they will investigate

how to design usable and engaging technology for the growing population of older adults.

Students will come to understand the concepts and needs of younger and older users

firsthand through, e.g., guest speakers or personal interactions.

APPENDIX B Enrollment and Market Analysis

Describe and elaborate in Appendix B on the following information:

Detailed enrollment projections for the next five years, including as applicable, new students, transfer students, internal transfer students. These projections are to be proposed by EMCS with an explanation of methodology used

Anticipated graduation rate (based upon college target and similar RIT programs)

Competing programs (regional and national)

Anticipated geographic draw (regional, national and international)

Program delivery format (full-time, part-time, on-site, off-site, distance learning, weekend learning)

An undergraduate degree in HCC would be a unique offering among US universities. HCC courses often are offered as a

concentration within an undergraduate Computer Science degree, but are not complete degrees and typically lack the

interdisciplinary that the RIT degree would offer. Thus, this B. S. degree at RIT will serve to fill a void in undergraduate

training of professionals with interdisciplinary HCC expertise.

From RIT Enrollment Services [Edward A. Lincoln, Assistant to the Senior Vice President, Enrollment Management & Career

Services, in an email dated Feb 7, 2014], the following projections were obtained:

1. Based on our initial discussion with Dr. Vicki Hanson and Dr. Andrew Sears, we encourage the program’s developers to

consider changing the title of the program to Human-centered Computing. Given the specific nature of the field, we believe

that this title will be more understandable to a prospective student market, and will be more engaging to women, thereby

supporting RIT’s goal of enrolling more women, especially in STEM disciplines.

2. The program will attract new students from both freshman and transfer markets with the majority of new students

entering in the fall. In addition, given RIT’s recent conversion to a semester calendar, spring semester is an even more

opportune time for new students to enroll, especially transfer students.

3. Most of the students will come from the Middle Atlantic States and New England. However, given the relatively small

number of undergraduate degree programs in Human-Centered Computing, the program has the potential to draw

students beyond those regions as well as internationally.

4. The Office of Undergraduate Admissions will work with the college to determine appropriate academic profile

parameters for entering students with final authority for admission decisions resting in the Office of Undergraduate

Admissions.

5. The Golisano College of Computing and Information Sciences will work with the Office of Undergraduate Admissions to

maintain and enhance RIT’s relationships with two-year schools to promote the new program and develop articulation

agreements to facilitate the recruitment and enrollment of transfer students into the program. Flexibility in the application

of transfer credits will be critical to enrolling those students.

6. The interdisciplinary nature of the program is a strength, however, it has the potential to draw some enrolling students

away from some of the current programs in Golisano, Liberal Arts and CIAS. This should not be construed as a limitation of

the proposal, but requires a conservative projection of the number of new enrolling students.

7. The program will attract internal transfers from other RIT colleges, the University Studies program, as well as other

programs in the Golisano College. For purposes of these projections, however, only students who are new to RIT are

included in the projections.

8. The projections are based upon an assessment of the College Board’s Student Search Service data using the following

parameters to determine the level of interest in the student market: Combined PSAT scores at 110 or higher, high school

grades of B+ or higher, and high school class rank in the top quartile of the graduating class. Entering transfer students

would generally present a GPA of 3.0 or higher for admission.

9. As the program proposal is furthered developed, we recommend that there be close alignment between the first year of

the program and the college’s Computing Exploration program. Given the specific focus of the program, we believe that

entering freshmen may need time to understand the nature and focus of the program and how it aligns with their strengths

and interests.

Once the program has been approved and incorporated into a full marketing cycle, we project that 10 new freshmen and 8

new transfer students would enroll each September. Inputting those projection numbers along with the average (most

recent four years) six-year graduation rate for Golisano College into the enrollment/cost model provided by Finance and

Administration projects that accumulated headcount enrollment in the proposed program would be between 60 and 65

after four years. Please note, however, that the model, as it is currently configured, only provides input for freshmen and

does not account for new external transfer students.

APPENDIX C

Internal Letters of Support

Include the following internal agreements and support documentation in Appendix C: Impact statements and letters of support that identify the impact that new program will have on existing academic programs as well as projected needs for additional course sections from other academic units; academic accommodations; and other shared resources required from the following units:

Appropriate RIT Librarian provides letter addressing sections 5a. and b of proposal

College of Liberal Arts

College of Science

Other departments (other than program’s home department) including cost estimate for offering new courses or additional sections of current courses

Student Affairs (addressing any services likely to be affected by addition of this program)

NTID Support Services, including Access Services (Interpreting Services and C-Print).

ETC/On-line Learning

If program will share lab or studio space/equipment with other programs, provide documentation of this agreement

Other internal letters, as deemed appropriate by proposer

Appropriate RIT Librarian letter addressing sections 5a and b of proposal: September 4, 2014 From: Roman Koshykar, M.S. Computing and Information Sciences Librarian The Wallace Center Rochester Institute of Technology To: Daniel Bogaard, M.S. Associate Professor and Undergraduate Program Coordinator of Information Sciences and Technology Golisano College of Computing and Information Sciences Rochester Institute of Technology Adam Smith, M.F.A. Associate Professor and Program Chair of New Media Design College of Imaging Arts and Sciences Rochester Institute of Technology Andrew Herbert, Ph.D. Professor and Department Chair of Psychology College of Liberal Arts Rochester Institute of Technology The following outlines the potential impact on the library of RIT’s Golisano College of Computing and Information Sciences (GCCIS) proposed B.S. in Human Centered Computing program. After reviewing the concept paper, I have determined that the proposed B.S. in Human Centered Computing program with have a minimal impact on the library’s services and collections. The new program is making no requests for new books, new journal titles, or new database subscriptions. The RIT Libraries’ current interdisciplinary collection of journals, books, and databases already supports the M.S. program in Human Computer Interaction, as well as programs in New Media Design and Psychology. Our library currently subscribes to a standard core collection of computing and information sciences related databases, books and journals produced by professional associations and publishers. Our subscriptions also cover the disciplines of design and psychology. Available databases include: ACM Digital Library, IEEE Xplore, SpringerLink, Elsevier Science Direct, Sage Journals Online, PsycInfo, PsycArticles, ProQuest Psychology Journals, Academic Search Elite, Emerald Fulltext Management Journals, Art Full Text, and Web of Science. Our library also subscribes to a number of e-book packages through Ebrary, EBSCOHost e-books, EBL, Books24x7, SpringerLink, Morgan and Claypool Synthesis Digital Library of Engineering and Computer Science, and others. We also provide on-demand access to certain new e-books

through a Patron Driven Access (PDA) system whereby e-book records are loaded into the catalog for patrons to discover. These PDA e-books are purchased only when patrons select and open them.

Periodical articles, papers from conference proceedings, books, and other information items not owned by The RIT Libraries can usually be obtained on a timely basis through Information Delivery Services (IDS), our interlibrary loan request system, or Connect NY. Connect NY is a unified catalog of 18 (at the time of writing) participating academic libraries in New York State and the collections of the Center for Research Libraries. Authorized users affiliated with participating libraries can borrow print books in a timely manner from other Connect NY libraries if the books are not owned by their home library or if their library's copy is already checked-out.

Additionally, The RIT Libraries is a member of the Rochester Regional Library Council (RRLC), which provides RIT students and faculty book-borrowing privileges at other Monroe County libraries, including many of the area’s academic libraries, through free RRLC Library access cards.

Recommendation

The current library resources can support this program.

Sincerely,

Roman Koshykar, M.L.S. Computing and Information Sciences Librarian

NTID Letter of Support: Mr. Daniel Bogaard Rochester Institute of Technology Dear Dan: Thank you for asking about our support for a new Human Centered Computing program. The proposed Bachelor of Science Degree Program in Human Centered Computing will provide opportunities for deaf and hard-of-hearing students supported by NTID while adding modestly to the demands on access services. As drafted, in addition to core preparatory course work shared by students from a wide array of programs, many of the courses will be shared with students in existing Psychology and Design programs. The new courses being added to fill Human Centered Computing BS requirements will likely require additional access service resources. Synergy among the Psychology, Design and computing shared courses makes the proposal’s added demands on access service resources relatively efficient compared to an entirely new program. We certainly support increased opportunities for deaf students to undertake studies in new areas, especially when the curriculum design does not place extraordinary additional demands on Access Services. As RIT has expanded its offerings, we have seen deaf students move into new areas of study and careers not easily entered by them previously. While in the past this has created challenges in meeting additional demands for access services, it is a ‘problem’ that fulfills the founders' dreams for NTID. The Human Centered Computing degree proposal's manageable requirements for additional resources drawn from Access Services are a reasonable impact to open these valuable opportunities for students. We are pleased to support the proposal and wish you well in establishing the new degree program. Sincerely, Rico Peterson -- Rico Peterson, Ph.D. Assistant Dean and Director of Access Services

Include analysis from RIT's office of Cooperative Education and Career Services that addresses the opportunity for CO-OP placement, permanent job placement and graduate school admission.

Indicate the basis upon which individuals were selected to prepare external letters of support. Important qualifications include academic background, subject matter expertise, relevant hiring responsibility, involvement in acceptance of students to advanced programs, etc.

As appropriate, letters of support should be solicited from: o Graduate schools o Industrial advisors o Employers o Governmental agency representatives o Consultants o Professional organizations or agencies o Feeder schools

Letters must respond to questions such as the following: o Would a graduate of this curriculum be employable by your organization or others

similar to yours? o What is your prediction of the job market for a graduate from this curriculum 5

years from now? 10 years from now? o What possibilities are available for a graduate from this program to advance in

Analysis from RIT’s Office of Cooperative and Career Services:

Dan: I¹m pleased to provide the required analysis in support of the Human Centered Computing (HCC) Bachelor degree program proposal. While there is no specific U.S. Department of Labor data set for this particular field, I have reviewed our current employer partners as well as other hiring entities that we may target as partners in light of the students and graduates to be developed in this program. I have determined that there is both a need and the appropriate employment market for these students. I see opportunities, for example, at both the co-op and graduating student level for user experience researchers, designers, developers, and engineers as well as any number of appropriate general computing skills employment categories for which students and graduates of the HCC program would be eligible. I am pleased to note further that I see particularly strong options for graduates of this program interested in the consulting field. I have come to a similar conclusion relative to graduate school attendance. I am confident that graduates of the HCC program will be excellent candidates for admission to any number of appropriate graduate degree programs. I would only caution that the tentative initial scheduling of the required two co-op experiences during the summer only will provide challenges for the students in this program. Summer only co-op programs do not distinguish RIT students from students at other universities. This restrictive scheduling will force RIT students to compete with literally every other student and every other university for co-op opportunities during most highly competitive co-op/internship employment period. While we all appreciate the challenges in students completing co-op assignments during the traditional academic year I would be remiss if I did not point out my concerns regarding their opportunities within the tentative schedule identified. Should the program proposal be accepted, my office will assign a Career Services Coordinator to the HCC program to support the career related needs of students, graduates and alumni of the program. Please let me know if you have any questions or desire any additional information.

To Whom It May Concern:

I am writing a letter of support for the proposed undergraduate degree program in Human-Centred

Computing. I am the Director (i.e., department head) for the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) Institute,

one of seven departments in the School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University. My

department has an undergraduate dual major, an undergraduate minor, a Masters degree program in HCI, a

Masters degree program in educational technology and learning sciences, and a PhD program in HCI. The

department was established in 1993, has a faculty headcount of 25 and is at the leading edge of research

and education in human-computer interaction. It is with this background and knowledge about HCI (or

HCC) education that I provide my very strong support for this program.

I have been asked in particular to address the following questions:

Would a graduate of this curriculum be employable by your organization or others similar to

yours?

o While this question does not apply to educational institutions such as mine, we would

certainly consider graduates of this program for our Masters and PhD programs, and for

research internships with our faculty.

What is your prediction of the job market for a graduate from this curriculum 5 years from now?

10 years from now?

o The current job market is extremely strong for graduates of our own similar BHCI

program. I would expect the same to be true for graduates of this program. With an ever

increasing focus on user experience to differentiate consumer products, as opposed to

traditional hardware-focused specifications, the prognosis for students who have a

background in understanding user needs, and designing, implementing and evaluating

systems that address those user needs, is very, very good. As there are few programs

specializing in this area, particularly at the undergraduate level, I would expect that the

job market for graduates of the program to be strong for many years to come.

What possibilities are available for a graduate from this program to advance in this area or

occupation?

o As stated above, graduates of the program would be sought after candidates for advanced

degrees in human-computer interaction. In addition, graduates would be sought after by

the large IT companies like Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Yahoo, etc., but also by

smaller firms looking to hire people with experience in designing and implementing for

human-centred systems.

Would a graduate from this curriculum be expected to receive an advanced degree after

employment?

o Based on our own experience with students from our BHCI program, an advanced degree

is certainly not a necessary condition for employment.



Are there opportunities for graduates from this program to enter an advanced degree licensing

program? Are there limitations? GPA desired? Number of openings? Number of applicants versus

number of accepts?

o As stated above, there would be opportunities to enter advanced degree programs. We and a number of other institutions

offer advanced degrees in HCI or HCC. I cannot speak for the other programs, but our programs our quite competitive.

There’s not a required GPA, but a required portfolio and letters of recommendation speaking to the creativity of the

candidates and the aptitude for advanced education in HCI, for our Masters program. Our MHCI program admits 60-65

students every year and has more than twice as many students apply. Our PhD program admits students who have already

shown an aptitude for advanced research in HCI, and admits about 6-8% of the applicants each year.

Should any portion of the curriculum be modified? If so, what and why?

o The curriculum, in general, looked fine. As one slight modification, I would suggest that

the focus on design in the early years be shifted to be less about the tools and more about

the techniques and methods that designers use. It is hard to understand what is covered in a course from only its name,

but the courses “New Media Digital Design” sound more like they are about teaching how to use specific tools to

accomplish design tasks, rather than learning fundamental techniques.

In general, I offer my strong support for this addition to your curriculum. The more institutions that offer such programs, the better off

we are. Please do not hesitate to contact me should you have any additional questions.

Review of HCC Proposal

Dear Prof. Bogaard:

Thank you for the opportunity to comment on your proposed HCC curriculum. Here are my

responses to the questions you posed:

Would a graduate of this curriculum be employable by your organization or others similar to

yours?

Graduates of this program could be employed in various capacities at my university. For

example, we are currently undertaking a major accessibility upgrade of our many Web sites, and

students from the Accessibility track of this program would be well qualified for that work.

What is your prediction of the job market for a graduate from this curriculum 5 years from now?

10 years from now?

Broad trends suggest continued growth in opportunities over the long term, subject of course to

the overall state of the economy. The major discernible developments, including sensor system,

personal health applications, Big Data, all have significant HCC components.

What possibilities are available for a graduate from this program to advance in this area or

occupation?

In computing careers, long-term career advancement generally lies in leadership, with a basis in

sound technical training. Graduates of this program can expect to participate in that

advancement.

Would a graduate from this curriculum be expected to receive an advanced degree after

employment?

This could go either way. In today's very strong job market, opportunities are available for

bachelor's degree holders, but (in some cases) a master's degree can add value.


http://www.cs.colorado.edu/~clayton

Are there opportunities for graduates from this program to enter an advanced degree licensing

program? Are there limitations? GPA desired? Number of openings? Number of applicants versus

number of accepts?

We do not have licensing programs, so if I understand the question correctly, I can't comment. If the

question is intended to be "advance degree OR licensing program", graduates could be admitted to

our computer science advance degree program provided they chose a sufficient number of more

technical courses in planning their undergraduate work, and had a strong (>3.5) GPA.


I'm impressed by the design, which appears to do an excellent job of creating a number of

coherent curricular paths by drawing on a wide range of existing courses. The coop aspect is

also a strength. I’d suggest that care is needed to ensure that the computing courses include

enough actual programming. This can appropriately be Web oriented, but graduates whose skills

are limited strictly to design and evaluation, without implementation skills, may find their

opportunities limited.

Dear Dan:

Thank you for the opportunity to respond to the proposed new

degree. Below are my thoughts on the program.

NOKIA

200 s Mathilda Ave. Sunnyvale, CA 94086

A graduate from this program would be employable by my

organization and others in the tech industry. From my personal

experience, that graduate would work in roles such as UX

Researchers, UX Prototypers, UX Designers, Interaction Designers,

and Research Engineers. The market needs for such expertise is

very high at the moment, especially for those who can perform

multiple skills described in the program goals: analyze needs,

design interfaces and interactions, develop prototypes, and

evaluate user interfaces and user experiences. Those with

advanced degrees such as a Master's degree will, of course, be

more desirable. However, a Master's degree is not always

required. Additionally, entirely different groups, namely research

oriented groups, will seek out those with PhDs in this area.

My expectation is that demand for these skills will increase in five

years and will continue to do so in 10 years, especially as

companies expand their services and reach into the Web and the

mobile space (smartphones and tablets).

As far as opportunities after graduating with a Bachelor's degree

from this program, graduates can easily continue their education

through Master's and PhD programs in departments such as

Computer Science, Information Science, Sociology, or Human

Computer Interaction. If graduates choose the industry route, they

would start as individual contributors, then advance through roles

of greater responsibilities (as any graduate with a Bachelor's

degree would).

Here are some changes to the program you might want to

consider.

b. UX Research

i. Running studies to understand users, to

collect requirements, to enhance existing

ii. Running usability studies.

iii. Working with engineering team to design

2) ISTE 120 and ISTE 140 seem like they might be

programming courses. If so, the introduction to

programming course could be done on smartphones

right away. I have seen other schools teach introduction

to programing via smartphones to great success. And

although the Web is an important part of the computing

experience, it is not the only part. Teaching only the

Web could be a disservice to the students. Millions of

users use smartphone and tablet (iOS and Android)

platforms. Finally, computing is moving beyond

smartphone and tablets- thus an introduction to

physical computing would fit well into this program.

EVALUATION OF HUMAN CENTERED COMPUTING

RIT BACHELOR OF SCIENCE DEGREE PROGRAM

When I first received the request for review, I thought “What a great idea to

have such a program”. After reading the proposal, I am convinced my initial

impression is valid.

I have answered 5 of the 6 prescribed questions and hope my perspectives are

informative.

1. Would a graduate of this curriculum be employable by your organization or

others similar to yours?

The interdisciplinary courses, the projects, and the coops add up to a

program that will result in graduates who will appeal to many different

types of organizations. To my knowledge, it is a quite unique

undergraduate course and is strengthened by the two coops.

2. What is your prediction of the job market for a graduate from this

curriculum 5 years from now? 10 years from now?

Various names including user experience designers and interaction

designer are used for jobs that would be open to graduates with HCC

skills. Based on posted job openings, the current demand is very high.

I see this continuing for 5 and even 10 years with the later years

requiring new HCC skills as the technology advances.

3. What possibilities are available for a graduate from this program to

advance in this area or occupation?

This question ties into the previous one. Because of high demand,

HCC graduates who keep up with new technology and design methods

should encounter opportunities to work their way up on either the

technical job ladder or the administrative one in a particular

organization. Also, since HCC skills readily transfer across industries,

advancement should be feasible by changing companies.

4. Would a graduate from this curriculum be expected to receive an advanced

degree after employment?

Employers will expect people to continually acquire new knowledge

of principles and methods. In some employment environments this

can be done on the job while in others new skills can be more quickly

and easily obtained by going back to school. For some students, the

latter may be only be feasible to do while they continue their job so

eventually the graduate HCI program may need to be restructured to

accommodate working people.

5. Are there opportunities for graduates from this program to enter an advanced degree licensing program? Are there

limitations? GPA desired? Number of openings? Number of applicants versus number of accepts?

Due to unfamiliarity with advanced degree licensing programs, I am not qualified to answer this question.

6. Should any portion of the curriculum be modified? If so, what and why?

This program has been very well thought out and should produce successful students. There are a few

additional elements not evident to me in the program that should be incorporated to help better position

students for their jobs.

To better prepare them for their first coop, students should be given an understanding of entire

product development processes, including agile, and the types of people they will collaborate with

as an HCC designer.

If not already embedded in the psychology courses, students should be exposed to methods for

both collecting and processing qualitative data. Collecting includes observation methods,

interviewing, surveying, and using subjective scales. Processing includes methods for making

sense of verbal and written comments. In my Human Factors career, applications of qualitative

analysis have far exceeded instances of quantitative analysis.

One of the concentration tracks that should be available is HCC for embedded software. This is

important for increasing job demand in medical and some industrial domains where software is

used to drive devices and equipment.

The interdisciplinary nature of the program is its major asset and is, inherently, a challenge for

student advisement. The proposal could be strengthened by addressing how students will be

advised. For instance, it may be helpful for a student to have one advisor for the foundational first

two years and another during the second two years while engaged in his/her concentration track.

I appreciate the opportunity to comment on this proposal and would be happy to support an HCC program when it is

in place. I believe the program could attract more students to RIT and be a reliable feeder into the Master’s HCI

program. The number of students from these two programs combined with students from related disciplines in

Psychology, Design, New Media, and Industrial Engineering could comprise a critical mass for enabling a viable

student chapter of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society (HFES).

To the Program Reviewers:

I am happy to write in support of and provide comments regarding the proposal for an undergraduate

program in Human Centered Computing at the Rochester Institute of Technology. As background,

I am an Associate Professor of Computer Science & Engineering at the University of Washington.

Human-Computer Interaction at the University of Washington, as organized around our DUB initiative,

is one of the world’s top communities for HCI research and education. I completed my PhD in the HCI

Institute at Carnegie Mellon, another top community. I lead many of our undergraduate and graduate HCI

education efforts within UW CSE. I am also a founding member of the executive committee for

MHCI+D, our new interdepartmental Master of Human Computer Interaction + Design.

I have been asked to comment on five specific questions:

Would a graduate of this curriculum be employable by your organization or others similar to yours?

Yes. As a university, we primarily “hire” recent undergraduates by admitting them into our doctoral

programs and employing them as research assistants. Our programs are extremely competitive with very

limited capacity, but I can imagine star graduates of this program being admitted and hired in HCI-related

departments at the University of Washington (e.g., Compute Science & Engineering, Human Centered

Design & Engineering, The Information School). The proposed program is designed around the

knowledge and skills we seek in our admits.

What is your prediction of the job market for a graduate from this curriculum 5 years from now? 10 years from now?

Like the rest of the field of computing, the area of Human Centered Computing is growing and expected

to continue growing. In fact, most of the projected growth in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM)-related jobs is actually in computing. There is a high value in having a diversity of programs that address this need. At the University of Washington, we have found that our programs in Computer Science & Engineering, Human Centered Design & Engineering, and Informatics are all

complementary and highly in demand.

What possibilities are available for a graduate from this program to advance in this area or occupation?

There are a number of advanced degree programs that graduates from this program could be accepted to,

both at the Master’s and Doctorate levels. There are also ample opportunities for immediate employment doing user research, product management, design or fieldwork at major technology firms, medium-sized companies, and creating or joining startups.

Would a graduate from this curriculum be expected to receive an advanced degree after employment?

No. There are advanced degrees in this area, but the basic skillset is appropriate for many opportunities.

http://homes.cs.washington.edu/~jfogarty/



The curriculum appears to heavily favor quantitative methods, with an emphasis on experimental methods and statistical

analyses. This is important, but more qualitative methods are equally important. Methods like contextual inquiry

support “getting the right design” as a complement to “getting the design right” in more experimental approaches to the

later stages of design. In addition, some students might want opportunities to develop backend skills (e.g., databases,

cloud infrastructure). These additional skills would be most valuable to students who go on to operate as generalists

(e.g., in startups, in consulting, other small team contexts that are not resourced for specialists and therefore require

generalists).

Human Centered Computing is an important and growing area of computing. Please accept my support of this new

program, and please contact me if I can provide any context or clarification for my comments.

Sincerely,

James Fogarty Associate Professor Computer Science & Engineering University of Washington

Objective

My focus is in access to education and accessibility for disadvantaged populations, with a Human Computer

Interaction approach. A theme touching on all above areas is an examination of the ethical implications of computing.

In the past I was a team member on the development of an interface supporting deaf and hard of hearing students in

academic environments. I am currently examining mobile technology usage, safety and security, in relation to ethical

foundations and moral decision-making with related consequences.

8. Brief description of your major research and scholarly activities:

My scholarly activities are to discover novelties in the area of Data Warehousing (DW) in order to

formulate specific problems to solve. I have found two problems: 1) Application of MDD (Multilevel

Definition Dictionary) to validate & implement schema evolution operations: IUD (Insert, Update &

Delete) of dimensional tables, attributes, hierarchical paths, levels based on Object-Oriented approach

and 2) Fact trend analysis affected by dimensional data evolution rather than schema evolution. With the

support from IST Dept. chair Prof. Zilora, I have a graduate research assistant pursuing the first research

problem in which he has made substantial progress. I hope not only to disseminate this research next year

but also to extend it further if it receives positive acceptance from the DW community. I also have

another student who is interested in the same project using a different approach. He plans to work on this

as his capstone project.

AREAS OF INTEREST , SCHOLAR SH IP, A ND E XPE R TISE

Human factors in complex systems, human performance measurement and modeling, mental workload, decision-making, and

human error and reliability; in particular, human timing of actions, temporal decision-making, errors in timing, and the effects of

time pressure and temporal uncertainty on workload and performance; development of cognitive models of human operators’

temporal awareness that will allow for prediction of their performance under various operational demands, and development of

information displays and other augmented reality applications to support effective, error-free, and timely decision-making under

conditions of uncertainty and time stress; development of methods and standards for human-centered design of successful

products and systems. Also, human factors education, curriculum development, and program evaluation and accreditation; I

believe that bridging the schism between applied and theoretical human factors in education, research, and practice is critical to

the discipline’s impact and growth in the future.
