This course examines current topics in Computer Graphics. This is intended to allow faculty to pilot potential new undergraduate offerings. Specific course details (such as prerequisites, course seminar, format, learning outcomes, assessment methods, and resource needs) will be determined by the faculty member(s) who propose a specific seminar course in this area. Specific course instances will be identified as belonging to the Computer Graphics and Visualization cluster.

This is an interdisciplinary survey course that will expose students to various opportunities and applications in extended reality (XR), as well as provide diverse perspectives and novel approaches in XR with potential to solve complex problems. Augmented reality (AR), often referred to as mixed reality (MR), overlays digital content onto the real world and virtual reality (VR) submerges a viewer into a 360 virtual world. Extended reality is a term used to describe all of these immersive technologies (AR/MR/VR). VR and AR are being adopted widely across diverse fields such as health services, construction, real estate, entertainment, communications, manufacturing, and military training. Each week the course will introduce how XR is being adapted into many of these industries, as well as look at XR accessibility, storytelling, and how XR is pushing the boundaries of visual communication and imaging.

The Vertically Integrated Projects (VIP) engage undergraduate students in long-term, large-scale, multidisciplinary project teams that are led by faculty. VIP courses are project-based, team-based courses directly supporting faculty research and scholarship with a particular focus on technology, art, and design. The VIP teams are a mix of undergraduate and graduate students each semester. Undergraduates can participate in a project for up to three years. Students will have foundations within their discipline, pursue needed knowledge/skills, make meaningful contributions, assume technical/leadership responsibilities, and serve as mentors for junior members. Students will be required to make contributions to the project, maintain detailed notebooks describing their contribution to the project, attend and participate in team meetings, and explore topics specific to each VIP via tutorials and readings from appropriate literature. Presentations and reports on work created will also be required.

This course will provide a mechanism for teaching topics within the field of humanities and/or social sciences on an ad-hoc basis. This course will serve as a shell to allow the College of Liberal Arts flexibility to allow faculty across the college to teach a short-term course in their area of expertise. These short-term courses can take the form of • a course surrounding a professional opportunity, such as a conference or field study; • a short-term course developed to teach students skills not ordinarily offered in the curriculum, which may lead to a skills-based certification • a pop-up course developed to address a current event. Faculty who wish to stand up this course must have the permission of the department chair as well as the dean’s office.

This interdisciplinary course is designed for College of Art and Design and Golisano College of Computing and Information Sciences students to work in collaboration to produce a semester long interactive music project. The students will work with upcoming young musicians in the Rochester area in teams consisting of programmers, designers, CG artists, photographers, and filmmakers, depending on class enrollment. The students will examine how digital technology is changing the way we experience and consume music. Students are introduced to the resources and tools necessary to produce an interactive music experience while working with professional musicians.

Photography Independent Study will provide students with the ability to study in a specialized area with an individual faculty member. Students, with the assistance of a faculty adviser, will propose a course of study. Photography Independent Study students must obtain permission of an instructor and complete the Independent Study Permission Form to enroll.

An independent study allows graduate students in the Photography and Related Media program the ability to study in a specialized area with an individual faculty member. Students, with the assistance of a faculty adviser, should propose a course of study or project with clearly defined goals and outcomes. Students must obtain permission of an instructor and complete the Independent Study Permission Form to enroll. **NOTE: Student must have a minimum 3.0 GPA *

A capstone class for students in the Individualized Program bachelor of science degree program. Course provides students an opportunity to reflect upon and enhance the many aspects of their individualized educational programs and focus on future goals. Senior status is required. Students should consult their adviser before registering. (Pre-requisites: Senior status and permission of academic adviser).
