We'd like to introduce you to some of our students who will be the first to graduate with a Bachelor of Science degree in Arts and Entertainment Technologies (AET) in the School of Design and Creative Technologies. All of these students transferred from other UT departments into the major or added it as a second major since it opened for enrollment in fall 2015. In their project-based coursework, these students were able to focus with the three emphasis areas of the major: Music & Sound, Game and Mobile Media Applications (GAMMA) and New Performance Technologies.

A team of students in the 2-D capstone class of the Game and Mobile Media Applications (GAMMA) Program reached the finals last week at the Intel University Games Showcase at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco, California.
