Theories and Methods of Future HMI Design for Automobiles

This course is offered in China only and presented in Mandarin Chinese.

HMI design is an Interdisciplinary, which is based on human cognitive psychology and combines humanities, sociology, aesthetics, information science and other disciplines. While automotive technologies can be applied regardless of regions, HMI must be localized, as it is closely related to regional culture, people's living habits and characteristics. At the same time, HMI design has its own complete theoretical system, research and design methods and testing methods, instead of relying on experience. The purpose of this course is to equip people involved in the automotive industry with a basic sense of HMI design of vehicles.

HMI design is a highly practical subject, so for each topic, 1/3 of the teaching time will be spent in explaining the theory, and 2/3 of the time will be spent in guiding students to do practice. There will be several classroom experiments, and students will complete the tasks in groups to achieve the best learning effect.
