Developing a Usability Engineering Online Blueprint Course for Computer Science and Other Related Majors

Usability Engineering is a subject that is related to Human-Computer Interaction, focusing on developing elegant, flexible, user-friendly and efficient User Interfaces. In this paper, I am working on developing an online blueprint course for Usability Engineering that could be taken by undergraduate and graduate students. This course would be a good fit for Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, Information Technology, Information Systems and Graphic Design majors. All the aspects of blueprint courses will be explained in great detail, starting off with a definition of a blueprint course all the way through course evaluation and review. The developed course description and objectives will be explained, as well as the selected topics for this course. The course grading criteria and scale will also be demonstrated in the paper. The seven deliverables for the developed Usability Engineering course will be thoroughly covered in the paper.
