Interaction Design
The minor in interaction design prepares designers to tackle the challenges and capitalize on the opportunities that digital technologies have brought to all mediums of design. Students learn what researchers have uncovered about human capabilities when people attempt to use digital technologies. Most importantly, student designers will discover how these insights can be applied to any complex system design, no matter the type of technology being used.

Through field research, studio work and other knowledge-gathering activities, students are tasked with the design and prototyping of interactive software, products, spaces and services that directly solve real problems of human beings and businesses.
In a world where digital intelligence is added to almost every physical and spatial form, the need for understanding how to transform these growingly complex systems into clear and intuitive designs is practically an imperative for any designer today. Interaction design is a “career you never knew you wanted to have,” according to Fast Company magazine.
SCAD hosted IxDA, the Interaction Design Association’s annual conference, in 2008 and 2010, featuring dynamic workshops and keynote addresses by top industry leaders such as Paola Antonelli, senior curator of architecture and design at The Museum of Modern Art in New York; Dan Hill, head of interactive technology and design at Arup in Sydney, Australia; Alan Cooper, a pioneer of the modern computing era credited with creating what many regard as the first serious business software for microcomputers; Bill Buxton, principal researcher at Microsoft Research; and others.
