Adjunct Faculty - Simulation Science, Gaming and Animation Program

About the position

Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Prescott, AZ, invites applicants for multiple adjunct faculty positions in our Simulation Science, Gaming and Animation Program. The Simulation Science, Games, and Animation (SSGA) degree aims to transform students into multidisciplinary designer developers equipped to anticipate, create, and construct interactive, immersive experiences. These experiences can address complex needs from many domains, leveraging emerging technology and connecting this and information back to the human experience. The SSGA degree requires diligence in; game design, digital media, computer science, simulation, statistical modeling, software engineering, and general education that merge into a coordinated, coherent major. The breadth and depth designated for areas of study provide a functional and whole degree experience. The program aims to equip students with diverse demographics, technically and creatively, in mathematics, programming, content creation, software development, and critical thinking. As technical artists, students will derive the ability to design real-time interactive systems from the ground up - from graphical algorithms to interactive-story scenarios to game levels to simulation engines. They build game systems to employ artificial intelligence, code, and content designed to generate compelling interactive models of complex variables or 3d virtual environments.
