Students learn about the systems used in the high tech worlds of computer graphics, medical imaging, information technologies, web and network design, and entertainment or military simulations with the help of our partner organizations who not only work with faculty to develop the curriculum, but also provide experts and staff to assist in the total educational experience. Students explore these high tech worlds through field trips, speakers, internships and classes revolve around these topics.
