An immersion experience to develop a deep understanding of the natural history (including geology, climate, and ecology of plants and animals) of the Galapagos Islands and mainland Ecuador, with a reflection on interactions between these and the history, culture and economics of the Islands and Ecuador from pre-colonial to modern times. Offered during the Maymester. (Limited to students who will participate in the faculty-led abroad experience-a two-week, intensive trip to the Galapagos Islands and Ecuador.)
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequsite: IDS 321 Direct application of knowledge and analytical skills derived from IDS 321 through working with leaders of a specific non-profit partner to produce a plan for a new program consistent with the partner's mission that benefits its clients and community. Each student-community partner team presents its project at a social entrepreneurship-plan competition held at the end of the course.

4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Reserved for IMM majors and minors or by permission of instructor An introduction to digital media for interactive multimedia through the study of state-of-the-art methods of creating digital media: painting programs, digital image editing, and time-based authoring programs. Computer graphics and digital media combine to make building images and editing graphics easy and effective. Digital media have led to new methods of communications that affect how we work, play and see ourselves and our environment. Through studio and seminar sessions, students will explore ways of constructing types of digital media and consider the aesthetic, technical, and social effects of this work. Critiques of student work, readings, and discussion will examine the evolving formal criteria and social implications of this work. (Core)
-
4.00 Credits
(same as CSC 101) Prerequisite: Reserved for IMM majors and minors or by permission of instructor A first course in computing languages for interactive multimedia. Students are introduced to the art of programming through state-of-art multimedia technologies (e.g. Processing) Through intensive laboratory experience students learn the programming fundamentals (e.g., variables, functions, control structures and logic, persistent storage and networking). Problems related to interactivity are emphasized. Students will understand the distinction between mark-up languages, scripting languages and general purpose programming languages and develop proficiency in the first two. Efficiency, data structure organization and objects are introduced within the context of interactive computing problem solving. (Core)
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Reserved for IMM majors and minors or by permission of instructor This course allows students to develop and practice specific, foundational skills in web production, while simultaneously developing an understanding of and strategies for effective visual communication in general. Students will develop an understanding of when and how to use tools such as HTML, CSS and Javascript. Through readings, lectures and demonstrations, students will also develop an appreciation for fundamental issues of graphical communication, including color, typography and composition. Throughout the course we will compare and contrast traditional approaches to design with similar approaches on the web, examining the differing constraints and additional considerations of designing for a digital and interactive medium. (Core)
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Reserved for IMM majors and minors or by permission of instructor Introduces students to the reasoning, rigors and routines of writing for business and professional markets. Students will broaden their conceptual understanding of the relationships between journalism, public relations and marketing while acquiring or improving proficiency in creating multimedia content. (Core)
-
4.00 Credits
(same as AAV 275) Prerequisite: IMM 110; reserved for IMM majors and minors or by permission of instructor Surveys traditional and computer animation history, techniques, and terminology. Students will learn basic concepts and skills of 3D digital imaging, animation, rendering, and principles of motion and continuity. The student will produce three-dimensional animation. (In-major option)
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite IMM 120 This course explores the building of interactive systems that bridge the physical and digital world. Using programmable microcontrollers and a range of sensors, students will create installations, environments, games and interactive objects that go beyond the traditional approach of mouse/keyboard input and screen output. Through weekly labs, workshops, projects and readings, students will be introduced to electronics, circuit building, programming, materials and fabrication. With an emphasis on rapid prototyping and project documentation, students will be empowered to move quickly from idea to functional piece.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: IMM 130; reserved for IMM majors and minors or by permission of instructor This course provides students with advanced web development skills and strategies to build dynamic web applications. Students will develop an understanding of how to use server-side technologies such as PHP and MySQL to collect, organize and distribute information. In addition, students will utilize client-side frameworks such PhoneGap to assist in the delivery of data-driven applications on mobile devices. Through workshops and presentations, students will explore topics related to information architecture, social interface design, cloud computing, security, copyright and identity management. (In-major option)
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: IMM 140; reserved for IMM majors and minors or by permission of instructor This course teaches students the writing, scripting and document design skills needed to create training materials, technical reports, and technical or business proposals in print, online or interactive formats. (In-major option)
