Abstract

This survey studied the expectations of Software Engineering graduate students who took anHCI course, regarding the interaction of engineers and HCI practitioners in their future workplace. The data are suggestive that students with HCI training, compared both with non-HCI students and with current Industry practices, expect to keep abreast of the HCI field more actively, expect design decisions and usability testing to be more collaborative and expect to see a greater degree of interaction between engineers and HCI practitioners in the future.
