Not going to university, but doing an apprenticeship. I could use a basic UI workshop, my only luck is that I'm coding for a text based system so far, so I don't really need to think of anything really. But otherwise I'd be lost and the users would be stuck with a grey window with some buttons scrabbled around

I learned UX/UI in a course on my second semester here. While I loved that class and use the stuff I've learnt in the applications I create for other courses, I don't believe it was absolutely vital. I feel like a lot of the things are kind of common sense and if you know what you appreciate in a GUI, you'll know what is good/bad design.

No, first year's focus on general engineering is very important, it allows you to explore and have some experience with engineering as a whole. For example, I loved the electronics and mechanical courses, got into robotics from that.
I agree UI/UX is important, but not for everyone. It should be offered as an elective rather than a core course, or maybe as part of a specialization track in web/app dev. Please remember that web/app dev is just a subset of what engineering in general and computer engineering in particular have to offer.

when your code is a mess but everything work out in the end
When you keep getting +1s on a rant you posted a month ago.
Go big or go home.
I'm an engineering student in my final year now.. and there is something that I felt I missed learning throughout the course of 4 years.
How many of you believe that there is a need for non technical courses like UI/UX designing to be a part of curriculum ?
I conducted a workshop recently on UI/UX design but was surprised how majority of them were just clueless about design in general.
Atleast for all the Indian ranters here .. im pretty sure all of you would agree how pointless the first year is. Utilising it for something as trivial as basic user profiling and designing .. according to me makes sense..
What say ? Any other subjects you feel should be a course in your University ? ( Now my knowledge spans to colleges here in India , Lett me know if it's any different outside of here ) 🙂
