ENT 4501 is the senior thesis project for the Entertainment Technology and Emerging Media programs. Students in this course utilize skills in an innovative way to develop a project that relates to the entertainment or media industries. Projects are developed through courses in the entertainment technology and/or emerging media technology programs. Projects require approval by the course faculty and must demonstrate management, technical design, and presentation skills. Documentation of planning, design and realization is presented to a committee of instructors, both in entertainment technology and related disciplines, as well as to industry professionals selected by the student and approved by the advisor. Though students enroll in this course during their senior year, development of the project should begin during the second semester of the junior year.
