Interaction design operates in a wide spectrum of fields - social, economic, political, technological, etc. - and the design practice is carried out by cross-disciplinary teams to operate in such fields.
Starting from these assumptions, the Master of Arts in Interaction Design SUPSI has always been open to multidisciplinary students. This working condition - training students with different backgrounds and levels of expertise - stresses some issues concerning a fundamental aspect of design education: the transition from a discipline to a science. The talk discusses some general questions of design education in this transition.
