Simulation and Game Development
Contact(s): Adam Carriker
The Simulation and Game Development curriculum provides a broad background in simulation and game development with practical applications in creative arts, visual arts, audio/video technology, creative writing, modeling, design, programming, and management.
Students will receive hands-on training in design, 3D modeling, and programming for the purpose of creating simulations and games.
Graduates should qualify for employment as designers, artists, animators, programmers, testers, quality assurance analysts, engineers, and administrators in the entertainment industry, healthcare, education, and government organizations.
Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of this program, students will be able to:
- Demonstrate advanced skill in one specialty area of simulation and game development.
- Design and plan an advanced simulation or game.
- Construct a playable simulation or game level.
- Create an animation for a simulation or game.
- Demonstrate proficiency in game programming.
- Generate cinematic sequences.
- Model a simulation or game object.
