Schools / Departments

Page Redesign

Project Duration: June 2026 - August 2026

Role: UX Lead

Summary: Updated the existing College of Engineering “Units” page to match the new college brand identity prioritizing visual changes and minor content edits.

Objectives:

  • Replace “Units” language with “Schools / Departments” to improve page identification

  • Reformat existing content to give each school a spotlight and theme them with school specific content and branding colors

Original layout

What Worked:

  • Straightforward content

  • Links out to School and Department specific webpages

Pain Points:

  • “Units” title was unclear to audiences

    • It wasn’t easily identifiable as the sub sections of the College of Engineering

    • The terminology wasn’t used in other university wide messaging

    • “Units” is used synonymously with “Course Credits” at other universities

  • Visually cluttered

  • Out of date with our updated branding

Updated Design

I revamped the existing page, bringing it needed clarity and purpose. With the updated navigation terminology, we improved task success rate and reduced errors for users. The new design is polished and energetic calling attention to each school and department through exciting color blocks, pattern overlays, and updated imagery.
