Some Course Descriptions for User Experience Design (UXD) Subtrack:

16:137:531 (Su)  Introduction to User Experience Design (3)
The process by which computer interfaces are specified, designed, and tested so that they are easy to learn, understand, and use by their intended user population. How such processes fit within industry and current software practices, how they are managed, and what specific competitive advantages can be achieved. Introduction to the practitioner's field, including conferences, blogs, and recognized gurus of UXD.

16:137:532  Contextual Inquiry (3)
How to select appropriate data-gathering methods and to gather and interpret data from all stakeholders involved with the design of a human-computer interface in order to generate precise interface design requirements.

16:137:533  Introduction to Visual Design for User Experience (3)
The design of visual interfaces, including color, typography, and composition; emphasis on using proven principles of visual communication through creative problem solving.
Prerequisite: 16:137:531.

16:137:535 (S)  Usability Evaluation (3)
Standard practices for conducting evaluations of human-computer interfaces under development. Conducting studies remotely, on groupware, on mobile devices, in situ. Atypical users. Questionnaire development and the design and analysis of user experiments.

5. Software Architecture
