Human Factors is not new, Computer Science is not new. HCI recognized as a separate discipline within CS is relatively new. HCI gets into Visualization, Graphics, Natural Language Processing/Voice Recognition and other means of interfacing with computers including passive brain monitoring and other techniques . Degree programs that combine the three along with some engineering/industrial design are relatively new and not very common. Apple is an example of a company with well designed software interfaces. They hire some Tufts grads, but they must have feeder programs on the West Coast.
