The main objective of this course is to allow you discover some recent French and French-speaking video games. Event 0 and Life is Strange are two adventure games (cinematic) with puzzles to solve, while Valiant Hearts is more of an action-platformer that requires combat and strategy. Our class discussions and your assignments will focus on your progression through these games, which have varying degrees of immersion, as well as their cultural specificities.

French food and agricultural products are celebrated worldwide for their quality, diversity, and rich cultural history. French chefs have long set the standard for the high-end restaurant world; it was French winemakers, a century ago, who first gave a legal status to the concept of terroir; while French farmers are perhaps best known for their skill in staging effective displays of political force. France is also an agricultural powerhouse, a leading global exporter of agricultural goods and a key player in determining European agricultural policy.

Second of two semester swquence. Animation techniques using digital tools as applied to film, video, music and technology. Animation software (Maya) and professional compositing programs are used. Development and design of personal work is stressed. Emphasis on creativity and professionalism. Prerequisite: Art 674 or consent of instructor.

Graduate level intermediate ceramics covering mold making, extruded forms, assisted forming, development of body of work, historical and technical research.

This course is designed to provide students with a solid foundation in industry-standard 3D animation production processes, while also exploring conceptual, innovative and critical approaches to 3D animation. Classes will consist of discussions, lectures, presentations, technical tutorials, assignments and critiques. Participants will learn keyframe animation, physics simulation, virtual cinematography and virtual lighting, texturing and rendering optimization. Students will also learn about sound production, post-production compositing, editing and output for installation.

A laboratory course exploring anatomical research methods, neurochemical techniques, behavioral testing, design of experiments and data analysis. Prerequisites: CHM 111 or CHM 118, and PSY 130 or NSC 125 or NSC 210 (may be concurrent), or equivalent. Not open to seniors. Enrollment limited to 16.

Our electronic world relies on transistors, amplifiers and other microelectronic circuits. This course introduces the principles required to analyze and design basic microelectronic circuits. Topics will include the device principles of diodes, bipolar junction transistors and field effect transistors, the design of simple analog and digital circuits, and microelectronic circuit analysis using simulation software (SPICE). Prerequisite: EGR 220. Enrollment limited to 12. Juniors and seniors only. Instructor permission required.
