藝術與設計，再也無法忽略技術的影響，
無法忽略人-機交流時的心理和行為模式。
交互設計作為一門應時代而生的新興學科，
無疑是這些年持續升溫的大熱門。
中英文的學科互譯一直都是個大坑，中文所說的“交互設計”其實是個籠統的大概念，並不能直譯為Interactive Design，因此打了引號。
美國各大院校的交互專業命名根據其價值觀、歷史沿革、師資背景、周圍產業等原因，可謂“五花八門”，即使它可能是一個很牛的學校，但倘若不適合你的興趣和優勢，對於申請和擇校都沒有好處。所以，今天我們就來刨根問底！
本期帶來的，
是【美國交互設計專業院校碩士list】

作品集要求：
需要說明，技術類的HCI-人機交互專業不屬於藝術設計類交互，大部分學校是不要求作品集的，當然如果你是本專業本科畢業生，有作品集的話是可以提交的。
If applicable for your background, applicants may include a link to their portfolios. This is not a requirement and is optional for all applying.
Whether your background is in design or not, you're required to submit a web-based portfolio of work to be considered for graduate study at Carnegie Mellon's School of Design. Include samples of recent work that represent the strengths of your professional, creative, or academic experience. This portfolio might be filled with design projects, writing samples, or summaries of other original projects you have undertaken. You may use photography, video, writing, or interactive presentations to demonstrate your work.
For long works – such as theses, book designs, and software applications – please select excerpts that best represent your strengths. For each piece, include a brief description (one paragraph) on content and context, to help us get to know you better and understand your creative and problem solving approaches. If you include a collaborative work, make sure to identify your contributions.
We will evaluate your portfolio from multiple viewpoints, including visual or verbal communication skills, critical and analytical thinking, craftsmanship, ease of navigation, and creativity.
For candidates from non-design backgrounds applying to the MA program, we recognize that your portfolio will be different than a design portfolio. We are looking for supplemental information to your application that highlights your creative potential and interest in design. For example, your work might include written observations, blogs or critiques of existing work or things encountered in the world; artwork such as painting, ceramics, photography or video; musical or dramatic performances; academic or professional writing samples; and volunteer or professional contributions to projects.
Your portfolio must be web-based, and you must provide a link to your portfolio in your application package. Be sure that your site functions correctly on multiple platforms. No PDFs or physical portfolios will be accepted.

Applicants are required to submit a portfolio of work that demonstrates a point of view about interaction design. Interaction design portfolios are likely visual but need not be, as we look for a broad range of references as parallel influences to the field. Portfolios must include at least five projects. You might consider:
Design work that demonstrates visual literacy, craft, process, and the corresponding product/service.
Usability and social science research that emphasizes the concept and ultimate findings.
Strategy and writing projects that communicate audience, challenge, and outcomes.
Coding projects that show samples, process, and outcome.
Project management accomplishments that make clear the responsibilities, challenge, and problem solved.
Applicants are also strongly encouraged to submit one case study. The case study should describe one of your projects from concept through completion, detailing: the project problem, your approach, and outcomes with supporting sketches and images. Emphasize your process and thinking using between one and six pages in PDF format. Case study PDFs may be included with your portfolio, or submitted via a separate link (e.g., via Dropbox or Google Drive).
Personal interviews may be scheduled only on a case-by-case basis. Departments will contact applicants to schedule in-person or phone interviews.
For more information, applicants should review the department requirements section of their chosen program.
