PROGRAMS / COURSE DESCRIPTION<br />
COMPUTER INTEGRATED DESIGN AND GRAPHICS<br />
The Computer Animation Program offers several<br />
certificates that help prepare students for entry-level<br />
positions in the 3D Animation industry. Our Animation<br />
Program covers such topics as creating life-like models<br />
with realistic textures, using lighting and cameras,<br />
character animation, special effects and incorporating<br />
sound. The primary software package taught is<br />
Autodesk’s 3ds Max, with additional software such as<br />
Adobe Photoshop used to supplement course<br />
curriculum. Animation classes are also offered through<br />
the Media Arts Department.<br />
A third program, and newest within our CIDG<br />
Department is our Geographic Information Systems<br />
(GIS). We are very excited about our GIS program and<br />
believe there will be many job opportunities for our<br />
students who complete this certificate, and we hope to<br />
add more certificates in the future. GIS helps fire/rescue<br />
and EMS protect life and property using information and<br />
analysis as a powerful tool. GIS puts spatial intelligence<br />
at the fingertips of dispatchers and field personnel<br />
ensures proper response time. GIS is essential for all<br />
phases: preparation, mitigation, response, and recovery<br />
of Emergency and Disaster Management. Law<br />
Enforcement can use GIS to discover how to leverage<br />
data collected each day to create intelligence you can<br />
use and share. Federal, state, local, and tribal agencies<br />
use GIS to support the homeland security mission.<br />
Wildland Fire Management accesses GIS information to<br />
increase safety, efficiency, and resource management.<br />
