ABSTRACT
The authors propose a model for incorporating usability engineering into the undergraduate computer science curriculum using an example curriculum from an accredited undergraduate computer science program in the United States. This model proposes that human-computer interaction and usability engineering concepts be integrated throughout the computer science curriculum rather than treated as disjoint topics.
