Abstract : This study investigates how integrating Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) principles into the design of an alumni tracking system can enhance record management and institutional engagement at the South East Asian Institute of Technology (SEAIT). Despite the increasing adoption of digital solutions globally, many educational institutions-including SEAIT-continue to rely on manual or outdated alumni tracking practices, resulting in incomplete records, inefficient communication, and limited alumni involvement. These challenges hinder the institution’s ability to leverage its alumni network for mentorship, career opportunities, and program improvement. Using a quantitative research approach, the study utilizes standardized usability metrics, such as the System Usability Scale (SUS), system analytics, and Likert-scale surveys to systematically measure the system’s effectiveness and user satisfaction. Stratified random sampling ensures representative input from both alumni and administrative staff.

Keywords : Human-Computer Interaction (Hci), User Experience, Usability Testing, Educational Technology, Alumni Tracking System.
