Computer Science: Human Interface Design Graduate Study in Multimedia Technology

1993年，纽约大学被纽约科技基金会选为数字多媒体制作、出版和教育先进技术中心（CAT）的所在地。它是纽约州唯一一所这样的多媒体计算机学院（其他12所专注于“硬科学”，包括机器人和生物技术）。因此，纽约州不仅将多媒体作为集中发展的目标（与美国国家科学基金会在GRT计划下选择“多媒体的使用”作为计算机科学：访问计算机和网络信息的人机界面设计（CS/HID）的资格相一致），而且纽约大学已被选为纽约的关键多媒体站点。我们已经开始为计算机计算机中心建立设施，并正在开发一个大大扩展的多媒体学位课程，提供全面的、基于项目的研究生课程，这些课程将强调计算机科学，但也包括认知和感知心理学，以及图形设计问题。这将成为我们“多媒体专业”计算机科学课程的一部分。我们的国家拨款要求我们积极与纽约地区的多媒体公司合作；我们希望这些公司能为我们的学生提供很多实习机会。

In 1993, NYU was selected by the NYS Science and Technology Foundation as the site for the Center for Advance Technology (CAT) in Digital Multimedia Production, Publishing and Education. It is the only such Multimedia CAT in New York State (the 12 others concentrate in 'hard sciences' including Robotics and BioTechnology). Thus, not only has New York State targeted Multimedia for intensive development (coinciding with the NSF selecting "use of multimedia" for eligibility in Computer Science: Human Interface Design for Access to Computers and Networked Information (CS/HID) under the GRT program), but NYU has been selected as a key Multimedia site in New York. We have begun to establish facilities for the CAT, and are developing a greatly expanded Multimedia degree program with provides a full-scale, project-based set of graduate courses which will emphasize computer science, but also include cognitive and perceptual psychology, and graphic design issues. This will form part of our regular Computer Science "with specialization in multimedia". Our state grant charges us to cooperate actively with NY area multimedia firms; we expect these firms to offer many internship opportunities to our students.
