Computer Graphics Technology (CGT) prepares visually oriented students to succeed in a wide range of industries, spanning careers in animation and film to multimedia and design. CGT students are visual problem solvers who develop the technological and aesthetic skills a booming industry demands in this exciting and rewarding field of study. Students can choose to study animation or multimedia from outstanding teaching faculty, rich with industry experience.
Consistent with the criteria set by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET), the Program Educational Objectives of the CGT program within the Department of Design and Communication Technology (DCT) are "To produce graduates who, during the first few years of professional practice, will...":
• Show their ability to solve problems related to the workplace through their application of excellent technical capabilities in visual communication, computer systems, and related supporting field
• Be responsible citizens in the workplace through their demonstrated ethical and professional conduct and appreciation for diversity in its various forms
• Continue their professional advancement through life-long learning opportunities, in-service training, and engagement with professional organizations
• Practice effective oral and written communication skills
• Show their ability to address diverse environmental, ethical, legal, cultural diversity, and contemporary social aspects of their work
• Work collaboratively and effectively in diverse enterprises where they may be asked to act as a liaison between their company and the client
• Have the ability to function both as an individual, and within the dynamics of a group environment, in the workplace
