UX Design
Purdue University in West Lafayette
If you can see the world from other people’s perspectives, your User Experience (UX) designs can enable clients, customers and patients to navigate their surroundings, products and appointments. You will walk in customers’ steps to observe and research end users’ needs, brainstorm ideas, incorporate client feedback and prototype solutions. Your innovations can include mobile and desktop apps, interactive websites and kiosks, educational tools, smartwatches and vehicle dashboards.
The Purdue Polytechnic Institute is one of 10 academic colleges at Purdue University. The Polytechnic specializes in team-based labs where you’ll test ideas, take things apart and put them back together — only better. You’ll learn side-by-side with professors who have worked in the industry and thrive on combining theory, imagination and real-world application. In this innovative environment, you'll learn by doing - gaining deep technical knowledge and applied skills in your chosen discipline coupled with problem-solving, critical-thinking, communication and leadership skills employers desire.
