Course Description
  team-taught course with goals to foster engineering-level research in conjunction with the experimental approach of the visual arts. Course consists of lectures, some readings, and team-based production of 3 multimedia projects that explore mathematical visual processes, interactivity and visual perception. Due to the inter-disciplinary nature of the course, students will be expected to work in small artist-engineer teams, to achieve meaningful results in both Engineering and the Arts
