Abstract

Educating technological designers is difficult. An educational curriculum should provide both sufficient discipline-related skills, and cross-disciplinary skills. In order to argue about the balance between the two, we speculate on the relation between disciplines and application domains, and we give some considerations as to what disciplinary baggage gives the best preparation for prospect interdisciplinary designers. Finally, we hint at a particular role for software designers in the process of designing across discipline borders.
