%Description The CS department at Bowling Green State University
offers specializations in software engineering, data
telecommunications and operations research. The software
engineering specialization is designed for students who want a
focused study of software engineering.  One component of this
program is the study of human-computer interaction.
%Facilities The university provides access to VAX and IBM
mainframes, Sun workstations, a graphics lab, and both IBM and
Macintosh microcomputers.
   The department has a student lab with about 15 Macintoshs and
15 Sun workstations.  In addition, each graduate student office
is equipped with a Macintosh with communications to all campus
mainframes and/or a Sun workstation.
   The Computer-Human Interaction Lab (CHIL), within the
department, has four Macintosh ci's, one Macintosh Quadra, video
equipment and facilities for behavioral research.

%Program Although the department does not offer a degree
specialization in HCI, two faculty members and one full-time
staff member are actively involved in research in this area. 
There are currently two assistantships offered with the primary
duty of research in HCI.  In addition to the three staff members,
there are typically three to six graduate students comprising the
HCI group.
