    2 cl hrs, 2 lab hrs, 3 cr An introduction to interactive technology with a focus on how we use technology to express ourselves and interact with our environment. This class will combine a hands-on exploration of sensors and microcontrollers with concepts of interaction design employing a structured design process. Students will work on creative group projects and provide on-line documentation of their work. An array of sensing technologies from simple switches to video tracking will be introduced. Students will use the simple programming of microcontrollers to process incoming data from sensors. Pre- or corequisites: CST 1101/CS 101, ENT 1250/ST 250, ENT 1260 or ENT 1270/ST 271
  • 3.00 Credits

    2 cl hrs, 2 lab hrs, 3 cr An introduction to and overview of the basic techniques and components used in commercial video and film production. Students will work in teams and individually to explore principles of production. Introduction to equipment, process, and terminology will be reinforced by readings, lectures, and hands on exposure. A study of the preproduction process, shooting schedules, camera, lighting, and audio operation, and postproduction techniques will be explored. Differences between studio and location shooting will be covered. This course is intended as the first of a series of courses designed to provide greater competency in both technical and artistic aspects of this important industry. Pre- or corequisites: ENT 1101/ST 101, ENT 1103/ST 103
