Description	Preparing designers for the $21^{st}$ century working environments involves providing them with skills to quickly adapt to a world of continuous change, to face a time where flexibility is a must and where uncertainty is the most assured reality. Societies and economies are now knowledge-based, due to globalization and technology; knowledge is then the key to succeed; in a knowledge-based word, professionals with different disciplinary backgrounds need to join efforts in teams where they interact and share their expertise to achieve common goals; collaboration, communication and critical thinking are some of the crucial skills they should possess and their education pathway should include opportunities to acquire those skills. The education process should then include experiences that mimic those environments, that some classify as multidisciplinary, while others prefer interdisciplinary, or even transdisciplinary. This paper contributes to clarify these terms and to assert which the correct level of disciplinarity might be. Book Name: Research & Education in Design: People & Processes & Products & Philosophy
