Ju Kyu – Classes UTD Should Invest In and Why
November 17, 2008
Here is a list of classes UTD should invest in for the ATEC or EMAC curriculum:
1. Typography – Why? Because to have a well rounded grasp on design, be it web, print, game, anything, you must have a grasp on typography. It’s important!
2. Adobe CS program specific classes (including advanced secondary classes) – Why? Because it is an industry standard in all kinds of design, and for some reason UTD assumes students have an existing grasp on these skills, which most do not.
3. Web Language Specific classes – Why? Because students being told they can learn web design through ATEC are being taught java, which though may possibly be useful in a fairly indirect way, is not the same thing as learning HTML or CSS. These would be much more useful to students investing in the ATEC degree and wanting to learn web design.
