The User System Interaction (USI) program from the Technical University Eindhoven (TU/e) is a two-year post-graduate program leading to a degree of Master of Technological Design (MTD). The USI program trains the participants in scientific methods of design and evaluation of user interfaces. User Centered Design (UCD) lies at the core of this program.
