The User System Interaction program (USI) is a post-master program at the Technical University Eindhoven (TU/e), the Netherlands. The program is designed to provide students with skills and capabilities for conceptualizing, designing, implementing and evaluating new products, services and applications. The students, working in multidisciplinary and multicultural teams, exploit new technologies for the benefit of users in the domain of communication and information technology. Keywords: User-System Interaction, Human-Computer Interaction, research, design, education, professional development. 1 Introduction The User System Interaction program (USI), started in 1998, is one of ten two-year full-time Technological Design programs coordinated by the Stan Ackermans Institute (SAI). SAI is a joint venture of the three technological universities of the Netherlands: Eindhoven University of Technology, Delft University of Technology and University of Twente. The SAI design programs have been developed to address the needs of industry for people who are capable of working in the multidisciplinary world of design and who are up to date with the latest design methods and technological developments. The SAI design programs are co-financed by the Dutch Government and by industry. Selected applicants of any of these programs receive a fixed-term employment contract as research assistants and are paid by the University.
