Courses

This course introduces theories, techniques, and applications of immersive computing and related technologies. Students will be introduced to advanced 3D modeling/animation and virtual environment building techniques. In a semester-long project, students will develop their projects using an immersive framework to design, build, and evaluate immersive virtual environments.

An overview of the interdisciplinary science of genomics, proteomics, and bioinformatics which applies the tools of information technology (computer hardware and software) to analyze biological data such as gene or protein sequences. This course examines the theory of bioinformatics as well as its practical application to biological problems using approaches such as BLAST searches, phylogenetics, and protein structure function analysis.
