Computer Graphics Technology Program

Combine technical and creative skills to design, analyze and communicate ideas visually. Prepare for a career in industry, advertising, gaming, education, entertainment, construction, web development and beyond.

Accreditation

ABET Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission: The Computer Graphics Technology Program at Purdue University is accredited by the Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org, under the commission’s General Criteria with no applicable program criteria.

HLC: All Purdue University programs are institutionally accredited by the Higher Learning Commission, https://www.hlcommission.org/

Program Educational Objectives:

• Recognize and demonstrate their breadth and depth of knowledge as practicing professionals or engage in graduate education.
• Apply and analyze their computer graphics knowledge to critical thinking and quantitative reasoning problems with an effective expression to persuade others to their images and ideas.
• Synthesize all forms of information, combining elements in a different way to form new ideas and make judgements about information based on discovered criteria.
• Utilize interdisciplinary graphics perspectives with an understanding of the powers and limits of each field and of the kind of contribution each can make; understand computer graphics phenomena as a complex whole and engage in professional development in their profession by adapting to new technology and career challenges.
• Utilize inter- and intra-cultural understanding to recognize how their thoughts and actions are influenced by culture, helping them to understand a set of cognitive, affective and behavioral skills and characteristics that facilitate effective and appropriate interaction among peers within a professional team environment.
