创新计算将工程学，计算机科学，艺术和人文科学相结合，利用技术作为强大的媒介来创建2D和3D艺术品，增强的性能，智能的物理空间和实时交互性。它越来越多地用于沉浸式博物馆展品，互动装置，科学数据研究，电视广告，音乐视频等等。创意计算是一门高度跨学科的专业，它将计算机科学和工程学的理论和方法学与艺术的美学原理和创造性实践相结合。该计划在跨学科整合方面非常严格，要求学生在莱尔工程学院和梅多斯艺术学院同时学习核心课程。此外，该计划需要一个顶峰项目，并需要辅修或辅修辅修。强烈建议出国留学。
Combining engineering, computer science, the arts and humanities, creative computation uses technology as a powerful medium to create 2D and 3D works of art, augmented performance, intelligent physical spaces and real-time interactivity. It is increasingly used for immersive museum exhibits, interactive installations, scientific data research, television commercials, music videos and more. Creative computing is a highly interdisciplinary major that combines theory and methodology from computer science and engineering with aesthetic principles and creative practice from the arts. The program is rigorous in its interdisciplinary integration, requiring students to pursue corecoursework in both the Lyle School of Engineering and the Meadows School of the Arts. In addition, the program requires a capstone project and either a minor concentration or a second major. Study abroad is also highly recommended.
