== What ''type'' of thing is human–computer interaction? ==

Human–Computer Interaction can be described as all of the following:

* A field of science – systematic enterprise that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of testable explanations and predictions about the universe.<ref>"... modern science is a discovery as well as an invention. It was a discovery that nature generally acts regularly enough to be described by laws and even by mathematics; and required invention to devise the techniques, abstractions, apparatus, and organization for exhibiting the regularities and securing their law-like descriptions."&nbsp;—p.vii, [[J. L. Heilbron]], (2003, editor-in-chief) ''The Oxford Companion to the History of Modern Science'' New York: Oxford University Press {{ISBN|0-19-511229-6}}

** An [[applied science]] – field that applies human knowledge to build or design useful things.

*** A field of [[computer science]] – scientific and practical approach to computation and its applications.

** An application of engineering – science, skill, and profession of acquiring and applying scientific, economic, social, and practical knowledge, to design and also build structures, machines, devices, systems, materials and processes.

*** An application of software engineering – application of a systematic, disciplined, quantifiable approach to the design, development, operation, and maintenance of software, and the study of these approaches; that is, the application of engineering to software.<ref name="BoDu04">[[Software Engineering Body of Knowledge|SWEBOK]] {{Cite book|editor1= Pierre Bourque |editor2=Robert Dupuis | title = Guide to the Software Engineering Body of Knowledge – 2004 Version | publisher = [[IEEE Computer Society]] | year = 2004 | page = 1 | isbn = 0-7695-2330-7 | url = http://www.swebok.org | others = executive editors, Alain Abran, James W.
