%Description The Center for Coordination Science is an
interdisciplinary laboratory that draws students from the
management school, economics, and computer science. Currently,
there are several computer science graduate students working on
HCI related projects at the center.
   Other laboratories and departments at MIT that conduct
research related to HCI include the Media Laboratory, the
Laboratory for Computer Science, the Artificial Intelligence
Laboratory, and the Laboratory for Information and Decision
Sciences.
%Facilities Macintoshes, PCs, UNIX boxes.

is one area of research at the Center for Coordination Science.
Other areas include coordination theory and economic analysis of
information technologies.

%SECTION            HCI Courses
%Description There are no courses that explicitly teach HCI, at
either the Sloan school, or in the department of Electrical
Engineering and Computer Science. The Media Laboratory offers a
number of courses related to HCI issues. HCI education, like most
education at MIT, is done through apprenticeship.
