Overview
The Game – Design and Simulation program provides students with a strong foundation in game programming, design and simulation while preparing them to create interactive digital experiences. As students develop technical problem-solving skills, they learn to design games and simulations for various platforms. Hands-on projects provide experience with game mechanics, real-time rendering, artificial intelligence and multiplayer systems.
The curriculum begins with fundamental concepts in game art, design and programming as students build their first interactive projects. It then progresses to advanced topics such as artificial intelligence, multiplayer design and immersive technologies. Students have the opportunity to create a complete 3D game incorporating simulations and virtual reality.
Students also gain essential skills that support the game development process, including project management and production workflows. Long-term group projects strengthen teamwork, collaboration and problem-solving abilities.
By graduation, students develop a strong portfolio of projects and the technical expertise required to pursue careers in game development, simulation engineering and the interactive software industry.
Graduates of the Game – Design and Simulation program may pursue entry-level roles in game development, interactive media and simulation. Potential career paths include game developer, software programmer, technical designer, artificial intelligence programmer, tools developer and simulation specialist.
Opportunities may be available in the entertainment, education, healthcare and training sectors, where real-time interactive systems are used. Graduates may work with game studios, simulation firms or technology companies developing applications for various platforms. With experience, they may advance into specialized roles in gameplay programming, systems engineering, virtual reality or augmented reality.
