Fall 2025 Laboratory Lecture Upper Division
This course will teach students design and develop interactive data visualization systems to communicate and analyze complicated datasets. Students will learn interaction and visual design principles, draw from human perception and cognition theories, and focus on hands-on practice of developing interactive data visualization systems that enable users to see, understand, and analyze complex data and relations. At the end of the class, students will apply the design principles and use proper technologies to create a comprehensive interactive visualization system for data analysis.
Learning Outcomes1Demonstrate understanding of design principles from perspectives of human perception, cognition, and design.
