The Master of Tangible Interaction Design program is a one-year program at Carnegie Mellon University centered around new computational technologies in making. The program serves two distinct groups: those with significant engineering and/or computer science knowledge who wish to master design or artistic skills, and those with significant design, art, or architecture experience who wish to master technological means of making.
The scope of study in the mTID program is broad, including digital fabrication, analog and digital electronics, media and materials, and computer programming. The program is designed for a cohort of approximately ten students who will attend design and technology courses and a studio where they apply what they have learned. In addition, there is a reading colloquium where students read and discuss the literature of this emerging field.
