Folks
With regard to the message below, New Mexico State also has people
interested in human factors and tech comm programs in the English
Department (MA and PHD) that allow people to develop their
interdisciplinary interests. We have courses in interface design, human
computer interaction, computers and society, engineering psych, language
processing, human-computer psych, and the like. We also have the Computer
Research Lab, where people work on AI, intelligent tutoring, translation,
dictionaries, natural language, and the like. There is good interaction
between our research labs, the psych and cs depts., and English.
