ABSTRACT
Over the past 20 years, professional HCI programs at the Master's level have emerged and evolved at a number of universities, providing academic training to future HCI practitioners. Demand for these programs by students and demand for graduates by industry has increased considerably. In this SIG, representatives from such programs, current students, alumni, and representatives from hiring companies will discuss emerging trends, tools and technologies that will influence the future structure of these programs. Industry attendees will identify how current programs meet their needs and identify where gaps exist. Attendees will also consider ways to build a community of support for those involved in delivering HCI education at the Master's level.
