Overview

The Media, Technology & Entertainment degree at Florida Atlantic University combines film, video, interactive media and computer animation faculty with computer science and engineering faculty, with the aim of fostering in our graduate students innovative approaches to digital entertainment that stretch creative and scientific boundaries.

Learning outcomes

Students are challenged to think in artistic, scientific and industrial terms about:

innovative forms of digital media practice within film and video production, video gaming, web-based interactive media and mobile media;
new pipeline models for media production, such as 3D processing for film and game development and physics-based medical and scientific visualization;
practical applications, such as interface design, hardware and software, enhanced content delivery and ubiquitous computing.

The program is intended to prepare students for creative careers in the emerging field of interactive entertainment. The creation of interactive media requires a combination of skills from the traditional media of film and television as well as a deep understanding of the effects of interactivity upon the quality of experience as well as grounding in the computer sciences to understand hardware build, coding, interface design and data delivery within multimedia systems. Therefore, we emphasize collaboration across the faculty and programs of Multimedia Studies and Computer Science and Engineering, both in the curricular sequencing and in studio capstones. The fundamental philosophy of the program stresses creativity of expression, experimentation and excellence in execution, as well as innovation in the field of entertainment technologies.
