Game and Automation Programming, AAS
A25450P
Official Program Description registered with the N.C. Community College System:
The Simulation and Game Development curriculum provides a broad background in simulation and game development with practical applications in creative arts, visual arts, audio/video technology, creative writing, modeling, design, programming and management.
Students will receive hands-on training in design, 3D modeling, and programming for the purpose of creating simulations and games.
Graduates should qualify for employment as designers, artists, animators, programmers, testers, quality assurance analysts, engineers and administrators in the entertainment industry, health care, education, corporate training, and government organizations.
Program Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of the Game and Automation Programming program, a graduate should be able to:
- Demonstrate game or automation programming by using industry-standard coding techniques.
- Program artificial intelligence in simulations and games using an industry-standard programming language. (SGD 125)
- Complete an SGD project from the definition phase through implementation. (SGD 289)
Degree Awarded
The Associate in Applied Science Degree-Game and Automation Programming is awarded by the college upon completion of this program.
