Announcing the HCI-Engineering Education Workshop 2023

Announcements
The HCI-E2 2023 Workshop on HCI Engineering Education (for developers, designers and more) aims at identifying, examining, structuring and sharing educational resources and approaches to support the process of teaching/learning Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) Engineering. The workshop will be collocated with INTERACT 2023. In recent years, the range of interactive techniques and applications has broadened considerably and can be expected to grow even further in the future. While new interaction techniques offer the prospect of improving the usability and user experience of interactive systems, they pose new challenges, not only for methods and tools that can support their design, development, and evaluation in a systematic engineering-oriented manner, but also to the designers and developers who must use them. Examples of interactive applications include mobile systems, wearable medical devices, safety and mission critical…
