It isstandard practice in the game industry to use large librariesof code which comprise a game engine to power games.These code bases involve an interwoven mesh of differentsystems ranging from user input to networking andrendering. This course focuses on understanding the use andorganization of these code bases to leverage the engine tobuild 3d game applications. Students will use commerciallyavailable industry engine(s) to understand major conceptsand practices taught in this course. The majority of the workin this course will be hands-on with the selected engine(s).(Prerequisites: AG 101 and AG 110 and AG 130 or withpermission of Program Coordinator for AGGP)AG 235 Digital Art Modeling and Animation 2-3-3Introduction to the key aspects of graphic design andanimation useful to game programmers will be covered usingAutodesk 3ds Max. Game programmers and graphic artistsmust work together as a team and communicate each other'sneeds. Having a working knowledge of the developmentapplication typically used by the graphic artist will assist inthat understanding. Models and meshes will be used tounderstand the animation process and the translation ofthese animations to the game engine. Topics includemodeling of surfaces, textures and characters in games.Scripting will be covered as a means to aid the animations.(Prerequisite: AG 225 or permission of Program Coordinatorfor AGGP)AG 250 DirectX Application Development with C++ 2-3-3DirectX is the most commonly used graphical ApplicationProgram Interface (API) in the gaming industry. DirectX andManaged DirectX APIs can be manipulated from severallanguages and scripts. This course focuses on C++ DirectXdevelopment on systems that use the Windows OperatingSystem. The DirectX APIs act as a bridge for the hardwareand the software to "talk" to each other. The DirectX APIsAG 292 Portfolio Development 2-3-3Critical to breaking into the game industry is thedevelopment and refinement of an impressive portfolioshowing both team and individual content. The portfolio isthe means to display one's skills and ability to work within ateam. Each portfolio is developed as an individual studenteffort. AG 292 builds upon the work already started in AG290. The lab in this course is devoted to a major portfoliopiece or for students to be available for an internship offcampus.Students are expected to prepare a presentation oftheir work as part of this course.

Architectural Engineering TechnologyArchitectural FocusAR 101 AutoCAD 2D 3-0-3This is an introductory course in Computer-Aided Drafting(CAD) for beginning students. Topics include drawing set-up,line drawing, text placement, orthographic drawing, basicediting, and dimensions. This hands-on course, usingAutoCAD, focuses on the most common basic functionsnecessary to complete 2-D drawings including move, mirror,copy, offset, trace, OSNAP, distance, and more. Projectsincorporate basic techniques of drawing and computer-aideddrafting. This course is part of the CAD Certificate program.Note: Students are expected to be able to read and interpretarchitectural/engineering graphics to register for this course.AR 102 AutoCAD 3D 3-0-3This course introduces students to architectural threedimensionalCAD applications, 3-D manipulation of entitiesand to create and control views in 3-D space throughIsometric and perspective projections. Topics include threedimensionaldrawing, coordinate systems, viewing,rendering, modeling, and output options. Upon completion,students should be able to prepare basic architectural threedimensionaldrawings and renderings. This course is part ofthe CAD certificate program. (Prerequisite: AR 101 orpermission of department head of Architectural EngineeringTechnology)AR 103 Architectural Graphics and Sketching 2-2-3The first semester is devoted to the basic ways ofrepresenting architectural ideas graphically through thedevelopment of sketching and computer-aided-drawing(CAD) skills. Architectural line techniques, lettering styles,geometric construction, principles of projection and drawingexpression are the areas of early concentration. Architecturaldesign issues are studied regarding residential planning andsiting.

Participants begin with a conceptual massingmodel and work in 2D or 3D or both at the same time tocreate a design and draft construction documents. AutoCAD®Architecture is built on traditional drawing tools of AutoCADallowing students to create a building model with parametricarchitectural objects that behave according to real-worldproperties. Because all drawings derive from a single dataset, they are perfectly coordinated and automaticallyupdated throughout the entire design process. Note:students are expected to be able to read and interpretarchitectural/engineering graphics to register for this course.AR 104 Architectural Design Studio I 2-2-3The student will study the architectural design for aninstitutional building that is designated for public use. Theterrain is sloping and provides for a two-story sloped roofstructure that employs current construction methods. Thestudent begins study through the use of sketch-to-scaledrawings. With an outline of design criteria and projectguidelines, the student develops preliminary presentationdrawings for floor plans, elevations and 3-dimensional views. AR 192 Revit Architecture 3-0-3As the student comes to know and appreciate the design, the Revit® Architecture, a parametric building modeler based onemphasis shifts to a more in-depth understanding of the parametric technology, enables the user to make a changetechnology of construction. The student preparesanywhere in the building project and it's automaticallyconstruction documents for floor plans, elevations, building updated everywhere else in the project. The course focusessections, wall sections and details. The preparation ofon building a foundation for the basic elements in thepreliminary drawings and construction documents include software. Note: students are expected to be able to read andsketching to scale and drawings produced by CAD (Computer interpret architectural/engineering graphics to register forAided Drafting & Design) AutoDesk software.
