For ENT Ma­jors: work ex­pe­ri­ence at a pro­fes­sional scenery fab­ri­ca­tion shop, rental/sup­ply house, off- Broad­way the­ater, or any re­lated in­dus­try or­ga­ni­za­tion ap­proved by the ad­viser. For Emerg­ing Media Tech Ma­jors, work ex­pe­ri­ence at a de­sign firm, media elec­tron­ics firm, media soft­ware firm, ro­bot­ics firm, en­ter­tain­ment or media pro­duc­tion firm, or any re­lated in­dus­try or­ga­ni­za­tion ap­proved by the ad­viser. This will serve to bridge the stu­dent’s aca­d­e­mic and com­mer­cial ca­reers by giv­ing the him/her pro­fes­sional work ex­pe­ri­ence and in­dus­try con­tacts be­fore the end of the se­nior year. Each stu­dent will keep a log/jour­nal to be shared in group sem­i­nars. Su­per­vi­sion will be by fac­ulty and a man­ager at the in­tern­ship site. Pre­req­ui­site: ENT 4410 or ENT 4450 or ENT 4470 or ENT 4480 or Pre- or coreq­ui­site: MTEC 3800

For ENT Majors: work experience at a professional scenery fabrication shop, rental/supply house, off- Broadway theater, or any related industry organization approved by the adviser. For Emerging Media Tech Majors, work experience at a design firm, media electronics firm, media software firm, robotics firm, entertainment or media production firm, or any related industry organization approved by the adviser. This will serve to bridge the student’s academic and commercial careers by giving the him/her professional work experience and industry contacts before the end of the senior year. Each student will keep a log/journal to be shared in group seminars. Supervision will be by faculty and a manager at the internship site. Prerequisite: ENT 4410 or ENT 4450 or ENT 4470 or ENT 4480 or Pre- or corequisite: MTEC 3800

Cre­at­ing com­puter ap­pli­ca­tions, in­stead of just using them, will give you a deeper un­der­stand­ing of the es­sen­tial pos­si­bil­i­ties of com­pu­ta­tion. Through weekly prob­lems, stu­dents will learn the fun­da­men­tals of pro­gram­ming the com­puter (vari­ables, con­di­tion­als, it­er­a­tion, func­tions, and ob­jects). These tools are the basic build­ing blocks of pro­gram­ming needed to cre­ate cut­ting-edge graph­ics ap­pli­ca­tions in­clud­ing in­ter­ac­tive art, live video pro­cess­ing, and data vi­su­al­iza­tion. The Java-based ‘Pro­cess­ing’ pro­gram­ming en­vi­ron­ment is the pri­mary ve­hi­cle for the class. The end of the se­mes­ter is spent de­vel­op­ing an idea for a final pro­ject and im­ple­ment­ing it using com­puter pro­gram­ming.

Creating computer applications, instead of just using them, will give you a deeper understanding of the essential possibilities of computation. Through weekly problems, students will learn the fundamentals of programming the computer (variables, conditionals, iteration, functions, and objects). These tools are the basic building blocks of programming needed to create cutting-edge graphics applications including interactive art, live video processing, and data visualization. The Java-based ‘Processing’ programming environment is the primary vehicle for the class. The end of the semester is spent developing an idea for a final project and implementing it using computer programming.

An in­tro­duc­tion to in­ter­ac­tive mul­ti­me­dia tech­nol­ogy with a focus on in­ter­dis­ci­pli­nary, pro­ject based, co­op­er­a­tive learn­ing. At­ten­dees will be im­mersed in the pro­to­cols and processes of the de­sign process: ideation, pre­sen­ta­tion, dis­sem­i­na­tion, pro­to­typ­ing, and pro­duc­tion. Par­tic­i­pants will ex­plore basic the­o­ret­i­cal and ap­plied con­cepts of audio, vi­sual, tac­tile and in­ter­ac­tion de­sign through cre­ative group pro­jects, vis­it­ing pro­fes­sion­als, and on­line doc­u­men­ta­tion of work pro­duced. This course pro­vides a foun­da­tional struc­ture nec­es­sary for work­ing in the the highly in­ter­dis­ci­pli­nary media tech­nol­ogy field. This course lays the foun­da­tion for work and re­search prac­tices that the will be ex­pected to fol­low in the rest of the aca­d­e­mic ca­reer and in the work­place.

An introduction to interactive multimedia technology with a focus on interdisciplinary, project based, cooperative learning. Attendees will be immersed in the protocols and processes of the design process: ideation, presentation, dissemination, prototyping, and production. Participants will explore basic theoretical and applied concepts of audio, visual, tactile and interaction design through creative group projects, visiting professionals, and online documentation of work produced. This course provides a foundational structure necessary for working in the the highly interdisciplinary media technology field. This course lays the foundation for work and research practices that the will be expected to follow in the rest of the academic career and in the workplace.
