CSEE Design Workshop: Build Products That Feel Right
For participants of Software Engineering and Applied AI (SAI) Course only!
We've all used software that technically works but somehow still feels off. Maybe a button hides where you expect it least, or a flow that should take one click takes five. These small moments add up and they shape how people feel about your product.
AI tools can now generate interfaces in seconds. That's powerful. But generating a UI and designing a good experience are two very different things. The real skill is knowing what makes an interface work for the people using it.
This workshop gives you that skill.
What to expect
→ Short, practical inputs on UX fundamentals and usability heuristics
→ Hands-on persona and user journey mapping for your project
→ An AI-generated UI that your team will evaluate using Nielsen's 10 Heuristics to see what holds up and what doesn't
→ Actionable takeaways to improve clarity, consistency, and user flow
This workshop is for teams who want to
→ understand what makes interfaces intuitive
→ learn how to evaluate any UI with a structured framework
→ build products that feel effortless to use
You leave with
✔ a persona and user journey map for your project
✔ a heuristic UX review of a real interface
✔ patterns and mental models you can apply to every design decision going forward
