Process
Identify and evaluate processes by which user experiences (UX) and user interfaces (UI) are designed in professional settings; apply these processes effectively to specific design opportunities.
Technique
Demonstrate level-appropriate skills in production research, user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) design, product prototyping, and user testing; identify and evaluate appropriate technological tools; develop technical proficiency appropriate to industry expectations.
Aesthetics
Identify and evaluate the aesthetic content of interactive experiences within a specific historical, cultural, and/or communicative context. Effectively apply aesthetic principles to the design of UX and UI.
Ideation
Organize and synthesize disparate forms of input in order to generate multiple responses to design opportunities (including typical responses and novel responses).
Collaboration
Work productively toward shared goals in a group environment; identify and effectively apply best practices for creating environments where diverse identities and perspectives are honored.
Integrative Learning
Synthesize knowledge, concepts, frameworks, and contexts from disparate fields in the design of UX and UI.
