SCED 500Graduate Proseminar3.0
The Graduate Proseminar introduces students to faculty research projects and laboratory activities, exploring the intellectual foundations of transdisciplinary collaboration, themes connecting research areas, and collaborative working practices. Program faculty and their students present examples of their ongoing work at an approachable level for in-depth discussion.
Collaborative Laboratory (Co-Lab) I engages students in the TranSCEND MS program in novel small group projects requiring contributions from a range of disciplines, under faculty direction. In this first term, small teams of 3-4 students will be provided with project topics determined by program faculty. These projects will require a strong technical focus in engineering, computing, or the sciences. In addition to working within project teams, class time is dedicated for each group to share their pursuits, challenges, and successes across the program cohort to learn from their diverse experiences.
In Collaborative Laboratory (Co-Lab) II, first-year TranSCEND MS students develop a new, sustained group project, under faculty direction. In this term, new student teams will be formed around project topics determined by program faculty, and successful project outcomes will depend upon collaborative efforts across a range of disciplines. These projects will require a strong technical focus in engineering, computing, or the sciences. In addition to sustained project research and development, class time is dedicated for each group to present and share their project experiences with the cohort.
Collaborative Laboratory (Co-Lab) III is the concluding term of a sustained, 6-month group project for students in the TranSCEND MS program. In Spring Quarter, student teams continue to develop their Winter Term projects and work towards a final project deliverable, report, and presentation, under faculty supervision. These projects will require a strong technical focus in engineering, computing, or the sciences. The final term emphasize dissemination and showcase opportunities for the projects and each group’s learnings from the process.
This online course provides a unique opportunity for students to share and learn from one another’s graduate co-op experiences. Facilitated by a faculty member, students will present tasks, problems, and challenges (with employer approval) from their co-op to the full cohort “workgroup” to discuss potential solutions and opportunities from a wide range of disciplinary perspectives.
This course introduces the technology of prevailing media systems and platforms used in modern audio and visual presentation, performance, and dissemination of entertainment. The course explores in depth the technologies used to capture, display, and manipulate such content and the history, current technical standards, and future trajectories of digital representations used to encode these media. The goal of this course is to provide students with a fundamental understanding of entertainment technologies allowing them to be not just users, but creators of new technology.
This course introduces students to research methods, tools, and resources for pursuing a transdisciplinary Masters thesis, leading to the development of an individual thesis project proposal and the establishment of a 3-faculty member Thesis Committee. It is generally given online and taken concurrently with the second term (Fall, second year) of Graduate Co-op.
Second-year students pursue the development of their individual thesis projects over the final year of the TranSCEND MS program. This work should involve research leading to the development and demonstration of new technology. In addition to the written thesis, an oral defense presentation is required for graduation from the program. The course is variable credit depending on the student's plan of study.
