The course is open to all graduate students without a computer science background, but is specifically intended for those students enrolled in the CMD program. Students will acquire a set of basic skills that will allow them to include computation

as part of their CMD projects. Of primary importance, students will acquire basic programming skills in the Processing computer language. This language is similar to Java, but provides and environment that facilitates the use of visual and other media.

The course will also introduce students to a small sample of application and

research areas in computer science.

The course is open to all graduate students without a computer science background, but is specifically intended for those students enrolled in the CMD program.
Lectures in the course will introduce a number of topics in computer science that have relevance to those interested in computational media. Instructors and students will discuss existing computational media work that demonstrates the concepts and consider possibilities for novel work. Several of the lectures will be given by guest experts.
The students will work on a project throughout the course that will extend their competency with computational media. CMD students are encouraged to select a project that coordinates with their artistic and research goals.
Grades will depend on in-class participation, a project proposal, a project report, and a final presentation.
