Courses

This course explores various uses of digital photography. Subjects may include studio, portrait, landscape and other areas of photography. Upon completion, the student should be able to apply the techniques necessary to produce professional photographs of a variety of subjects.

#

(2 clock hour lecture and 4 clock hour lab periods per week). A continuation of VAR 298. Focuses on learning advanced image-editing software, photo management and manipulation software. Continued studio use emphasizes the creative process through camera work, advanced lighting situations, as well as digital capturing from cell phone camera to DSLR. Emphasis is on technique, composition and print quality as well as creative expression.

This course explores advanced concepts and techniques in digital photography.

Addresses the technical, visual, and conceptual challenges involved with digital photography in an educational setting. Topics include digital photography processes, file and storage consideration, image evaluation, image manipulation, and methods for using digital images to develop critical thinking skills.

Students in the digital media concentration will meet with the instructor to review their past work and present an outline for projects they will pursue during the semester. Students will combine skills from various digital media to execute their semester work. Students are expected to work independently during the scheduled class time and at the end of the term will make a presentation of their work and be prepared to discuss the role digital media played in conveying their creative concepts.

This course examines current theoretical and professional issues in visual digital storytelling. Students explore advanced digital media techniques used in writing and producing multimedia stories. Students produce sophisticated visual digital stories for use across a variety of platforms using differing styles.

Design, modeling and verification of complex digital systems using hardware description language and electronic system level language.

This course covers digital systems design using hardware description languages and their associated tooling to capture, integrate, verify, simulate, and synthesize digital hardware. The course examines modern hardware design flows using high-level synthesis and register- transfer-level (RTL) synthesis. It covers the role of hardware description languages in the verification, simulation, and integration process of hardware modules in large digital systems.

This course is designed to provide seniors in electrical and computer engineering with real digital system design experience using the Verilog hardware description language (Verilog HDL). The history of descriptive hardware design and features of hardware description languages are explained along with design and simulation examples.
