Subject: interfacial engineering



A scientist-friend informs me that, depending on context,

interfacial engineering can refer to:



(1) A part of chemical engineering concerned with the management of

molecular events at the surfaces of solids, liquids, or gases.



(2) A part of computer programming concerned with using software to

manage the interaction of computers with their human users.



(3) A part of industrial engineering concerned with understanding

and using huuman interactions in the workplace to increase productivity,

safety, etc.



My consultant suggested doing a Web search for "interfacial

engineering" using a broad-based search engine like Alta Vista to find

titles/references that define the term.
