The Computer Design, Animation and Game Design concentration gives students the skills and academic knowledge necessary to enter the field of computer animation and the fast-growing field of game design. Drawings and illustrations are brought to life on digital video or film through the effective use of the latest software for capturing and animating hand-drawn or digitally created imagery. In addition, students experience creative possibilities as they explore artistic options and processes through experimental animation and modeling. Combining these modern theories of visual creation with digital imaging, motion capture, multimedia, computer animation, game design and film production, graduates will be prepared for jobs in game design, modeling and technical illustration, as well as in artistic production, exhibition and broadcast. Courses are offered at the Kent, Stark and Tuscarawas campuses.

Game design job growth exceeded that of the movie industry in 2009. Career opportunities include jobs in computer-aided design, multimedia development, technical illustration, web support and the growing field of computer animation. In 2012, engineers and technologist held about 1.7 million jobs. About 36 percent of engineering jobs were found in manufacturing industries, and another 30 percent were in the professional, scientific and technical services industries, primarily in architectural, engineering and related services. Many engineers also worked in the construction, telecommunications and wholesale trade industries. Federal, state and local governments employed about 12 percent of engineers in 2008. About 6 percent were in the Federal Government, mainly in the U.S. Departments of Defense, Transportation, Agriculture, Interior and Energy, and in the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Many engineers in state and local government agencies worked in highway and public works departments. In 2012, about four percent of engineers were self-employed, many as consultants.
