Interactive Multimedia and Game Engineering Graduate Certificate

Coming Spring 2008!

Overview

Multimedia computing applications have grown enormously during the past decade. These include intelligent video games and interactive simulations employed by business, industry, and governmental institutions such as the U.S. Army, Homeland Security, and the National Institutes of Health. Mapping realistic virtual worlds and harnessing artificial intelligence that accurately reflects human actions is at the vanguard of computer science. It also has become fundamental to many areas of entertainment, education, and training.

The Graduate Certificate in Interactive Multimedia and Game Engineering introduces students to graphics and simulation, and then builds upon this foundation with animation, advanced graphics, real-time techniques, and artificial intelligence. Participants will explore the development and integration of computer-based text, moving, images, and audio, including their application to video games and real-time simulations.
