The purpose of the AME concentration in computer science and engineering is to train hybrid engineering-arts graduates who get their inspiration from the arts and their methodology from computer science and engineering. The students will specialize in transdisciplinary media development.
This concentration is available in the MS (thesis) and PhD programs.
