Guest Lecture on UX Engineering for Third-Year Undergraduates
On August 16th, 2024, the Department of Computing and Information Systems at the Faculty of Computing hosted an exceptional guest lecture on 'UX Engineering' for our third-year undergraduates. We had the honor of welcoming Mr. Rasika Mahindasiri, Director of HCI at 99x, a highly esteemed expert with over two decades of experience in the software industry.
Mr. Rasika brought a wealth of knowledge to the lecture, having provided UX consultation for more than 100 products across diverse domains. His session offered students a deep dive into the world of UX engineering, offering not just theoretical insights but also practical industry perspectives. His clear and engaging presentation helped demystify complex UX concepts and illuminated the vast opportunities in this growing field. Many students left the lecture feeling inspired, energized, and eager to explore careers in UX engineering.
We extend our sincere gratitude to Mr. Rasika Mahindasiri for his valuable contributions and to Mr. Anura Adikari, University Relations Manager at 99x, for facilitating this enlightening and inspiring session.
