Students in the Digital Media program tendto choose topics such as: character, product, and game design, and architectural, interior, andenvironmental visualization.

These education deficiencies were corrected mainly through feedback from employers and by theaccreditation criteria from ABET. The traditional accreditation criteria started addressing these issues and thecurrent TC2K criteria from TAC of ABET has stressed the emphasis on the abilities of graduates tocommunicate, work in teams, understand and value lifelong learning and ethical issues, thus helping to closethe gap between the student’s preparation at graduation and “the real world”.
