CRCA Affiliated Course Offerings for Spring 07
CSE 125: Software System Design and Implementation is informally known as a games course, but the games aspect is a means to a more fundamental goal: to experience the design and implementation of a large, complex software system as a group.
In particular, in taking this course students will have a software development experience that is closer to what can be found in industry than with more traditional course projects, Work in large teams, build software using real-world tools and with the stringent demands of a high-performance, real-time, distributed application, have some fun (really), and work on a project that can be showcased to potential employers.

CAT 124 Social Architectures Interventionist Art, Participatory Design and Social Movement will address questions such as: How does design of an architectural space affect social dynamics? Can art stimulate social engagement and social movement? In this project-oriented Action Research course, student teams will plan, produce and document architectural interventions designed to induce observable social change. This production-seminar is grounded in a literature drawing from art, architecture, cognitive science, sociology, and urban planning; students from multiple disciplines are
encouraged to apply.
It will be held Wednesday from 3-5 pm in the Calit2 Building. For more information, email Derek Lomas at dlomas@ucsd.edu.
Independent study credit is available Spring 07 to work with Communication professor Noah Wardrip-Fruin and Project Scientist Jürgen Schulze in Calit2's Immersive Visualization Lab and CRCA's Performative Computing Lab. Students who work on the project will receive academic units as well as credit in project publications and exhibitions. Research topics include computer graphics, motion tracking, positional sound, and statistical language models.
