文书要求

Provide a Statement of Purpose describing your experiences and interests that will help you succeed in the program.
Write a brief (1000 ‐2000 word) statement addressing the following two questions:
 What are your reasons for undertaking graduate study at the University of Maryland, College Park? Indicate, if appropriate any specific areas of research
interest. You may wish to discuss past work in your intended field or allied fields, your plans for a professional career, or how you developed your interest
in or knowledge of your chosen subject.
 What life experiences have prepared you to pursue a graduate degree at a large and diverse institution such as the University of Maryland? Among the
items you might care to include would be your financial, community and family background, or whether you are the first person in your family to pursue
higher education or any other factors that you believe would contribute to the diversity of our academic community. You may also wish to give the
graduate admissions committee some examples of your determination to purse your goals, your initiative and ability to develop ideas, and/or your
capacity for working through problems independently
Prompts - Choose ONE or TWO of the following prompts to discuss within your Statement of Purpose in relation to your past work:
1. Prospective HCI students typically have some level of interest in interaction or visual design. You may have experience creating sketches, diagrams,
workflows, mock-ups, or prototypes for websites, mobile apps, or other product designs. Please describe an example of work you did in this area. Describe
your process, major elements of the design and important design decisions and their rationale.
2. The study of human-computer interaction and user experience is interdisciplinary and draws on a variety of fields, such as psychology, sociology,
anthropology, education, and information science to ask and answer questions about people and technology. Select and describe an example of a specific
situation in which you formulated a question and applied quantitative and/or qualitative methods to collect and analyze relevant data. This could be an
academic research project, or it could be product evaluation or user testing. Describe your process and major findings. *Note: Please do not include market
research.
3. Prospective HCI students often have some level of technical experience building front-end user interfaces and/or back-end programming. This may include:
a. Front-end user interfaces - e.g., HTML/CSS/JavaScript, Swift, Java, etc.
b. Back-end programming - e.g., application servers, databases, search engines, etc.
c. Content management systems, e.g., Drupal, Joomla, WordPress, etc.
Please help us understand your technical experience and problem-solving approaches by describing a technical project or assignment. Describe the objective, your
approach, challenges and what you produced. For your example you can draw on a course assignment or a professional or personal project.
