Design for usability

This learning module is particularly designed for engineering students in second through final year in general, mechanical, systems, electrical or industrial engineering programs. Notably, its content is of interest to all branches of engineering, since all engineers are affected by and called to supply input on systems to be used by or to present information to people.

This module can be used for self-study learning, as lecture material and background reading, to support further learning (links and references), and to verify one’s level of understanding of usability principles and application (via the review test).

This site is based on a supporting module of the CSS (Children’s Sensory Stimulation) centre project, funded by the Canadian Design Engineering Network and the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council.

As of 26 May 2006, the module is delivered as a website in English and French.
