What does "non-paid" internship requirement mean? Any chance to do a "paid" internship instead? Where do we get any internship generally?Īns: That is old information. So you will never be out of work for sure.ĥ. ![]() The advantage of being near to DC is that, you can get a lot of contract work as well. Most of them are for comp sci students, but there are other big companies as well. We often have Google, Microsoft, Cisco showing up in our campus and interviewing candidates. Or, does it matter at all?Īns: You won't believe, but if you want to be an UxD od IxD, then right now you have lot of opportunities in here. How are chances for jobs in the Industry (read IT companies - big brand names, if possible)? I see there are more opportunities in Government sector and non-profit organizations only. the assignments, internships and your motivation will be the things shaping your skills.Ĥ. Remember one thing though: don't expect that by doing HCIM you will magically transform into an UxD or IxD, just like taking computer science dosen't make you a scientist. Is the coursework suitable for my needs?Īns: Yes, again the course is in its nacent form, the majority of the concentration is in UXD and IXD aspects, so it should be good for you. What about the job profiles of HCIM graduates? I want to be a "UX designer" or "Interaction designer". so most of them require US Citizenship and security clearance, but the University one will surely have some good companies hiring students on F1 as well.ģ. Most companies coming in the iSchool job fair will be govt. We do have an iSchool job fair, and a University wide job fair(the biggest). No, we do not have a special HCI job fair.

Job is the most important concern for me!Īns: As it is a new program in its first year, we have yet to see the job scenarios section for HCIM graduates.

I would like to thank The_Observer, Ancalagon The Black, and GravityEyelids for all HCI-related help so far, and request them to comment on above. I am not sure about the nature/ structure of this program (light or heavy, as they say it for MIM)! Is it worth going for, considering just the reputation of HCI Lab? Any information in this regard is much appreciated. The faculty affiliated to this lab is also excellent! However, I want to know about the reputation of HCIM program - It was started just a year ago in Fall 2011. It is situated in the same iSchool building. Ben Schneiderman) is a very well-known research lab in the field of HCI. The HCI Lab at UMD (with the likes of Prof. However, could anyone please throw some light on the HCIM (Human-Computer Interaction Masters) program, which is offered by the same iSchool?
