Bachelor of Technology [B.Tech] [Emerging Media Technology] From New York City College of Technology

Students develop solid skills within the framework of an integrated technical productionbased curriculum. This uniquely qualifies them to work within the agile interdisciplinary teams that define today’s media industry environment.

The program is one of a kind in its approach integrating media design theory and practice, computing media models and principles, and engineering methodology and implementation. In collaborative learning workshops, students gain hands-on experience using media production tools, develop skills in rapid prototyping, system integration, teamwork, software knowledge, and the tools to evaluate the viability of new media technologies. Advanced students create new media tools and software. The goal is to cultivate creative thinking capable of anticipating future applications of media technologies.

Students will complete the program with a technical production portfolio in their concentration area, a basic understanding of each of the concentration areas, and skills in production management, collaborative production (teamwork), and cooperative project design (collaborative design). Students will also learn general media and production technology including computer aided drafting and design software, simulation software, 3D modeling software, and digital media production competencies in audio, video, and web-based media. All students master basic competencies in interaction design.
