2.00 Credits
1 cl hr, a minimum of 5 independent study hrs per wk, 2 cr This course serves as the senior thesis project. The student will either: 1) act in a principal supervisory role in a production as a designer or technical director; 2) propose, design and build a specialized piece of show equipment; or 3) develop a project which utilizes his/her skills in a new and innovative way that relates to or has an impact on the entertainment industry. All projects must be approved by the advisor and should demonstrate management, technical design and presentation skills. Documentation of planning, design and realization will be presented to a committee of instructors, both in entertainment technology and related disciplines, as well as industry professionals; all are to be selected by the students and approved by the advisor. Though students will enroll in the course during their senior year, development of the project should begin during the second semester of the junior year. Prerequisites: ENT 4421/ST 421, ENT 4430/ST 430 and (ENT 4450/ST 450 or ENT 4470/ST 471 or ENT 4480/ST 480)
