GAME AND SIMULATION PROGRAMMING

DeVry's Game and Simulation Programming curriculum prepares graduates to join the private and public sector game software industry in a variety of software development roles across the game programming life cycle, including programmer, software engineer and project coordinator. Applications-oriented, the program provides preparation in the math and physics of games; programming fundamentals; game design; modifications (MOD) and massively multi-player online game (MMOG) programming; two- and three-dimensional graphics programming; and simulation and game engine design. Also included is a full complement of general education courses, recommended by game industry experts as critical for well-rounded development team members.

Program objectives

The GSP program is designed to produce graduates who are able to:

• Apply higher level math and science to programming multidimensional dynamic imagery in interactive computer programs.
• Create game and simulation software programs that employ contemporary application functionality.
• Apply software engineering and project management skills to game and simulation development.
• Communicate effectively both orally and in writing.
• Participate effectively in project team environments.

DeVry accomplishes these goals by:

• Providing a sound foundation in various aspects of game development and programming, as well as game software engineering and project management across multiple platforms.
• Incorporating a strong applications-oriented component with each technical course, which reinforces learning of fundamental concepts, principles and theory through use of computer hardware and software for problem-solving.
• Integrating general education competencies such as applied research, written and oral communication, critical thinking, problem-solving and team skills in technical and nontechnical courses.
