Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Game Development and Simulation Programming] From New England Institute of Technology

The Bachelor of Science in Game Development and Simulation Programming will prepare students for careers in game programming and software engineering.? The program builds on the foundations laid in the associate degree program with emphasis placed on acquiring the technical skills necessary to implement games on a variety of platforms including phones, handheld devices, and XBox.

Through studying and applying key principles of software design as well as specific game algorithms and techniques, students will learn to design and implement games of increasing size and complexity.? Class work is centered on developing games in small teams, an approach which allows students to acquire both the technical and interpersonal skills necessary for the game and simulation industry.

A key feature of the program is the senior capstone project where students will bring together knowledge gained throughout the program.? Under the supervision of a faculty member, students in teams of two to four will design and develop a game over a period of six months.? The project work will be evaluated by a team of three faculty members.

Graduates from this program will be eligible for positions such as game designer, level designer, game developer, quality assurance engineer, software engineer, and game programmer.
