The UE College of Computer Studies and Systems (CCSS), a Commission on Higher Education-certified Center for Development in IT Education, will be offering the Bachelor of Science in Multimedia Arts course very soon. The move is in line with industry expectations and demand for multimedia experts and digital animators.

In line with this and in support of the College’s existing multimedia subjects, the CCSS has acquired and installed 40 brand new iMacs, the reputable desktop computers by the renowned computer company Apple. These iMacs, which run on Apple’s own Mac OS X operating system and are powered by state-of-the-art Intel processors, all come with licensed Autodesk Maya software. Nicknamed “Maya,” the software is used in producing three-dimensional computer graphics which abound in animated or live-action movies, video games, TV programs and others.

UE’s brand new iMacs are housed in CCSS’ BLB Laboratory. An orientation for CCSS faculty members on the general use and operation of iMacs will be held on May 11. A training program on the use of Maya is slated for this June.
The UE CCSS’ Bachelor of Science in Multimedia Arts course is expected to produce future, globally competitive generations of website developers, graphic designers, desktop publishers, role-playing games and other computer games developers, audio-visual editors and producers, digital imaging experts and others. The new course and the iMac acquisition are just the latest efforts by UE, through the CCSS, in uplifting the standards of IT education to produce high-quality, IT-savvy, industry-ready graduates.
For further details, the CCSS can be contacted at 735-5471 local 382 and 383 or 735-6975, and can be emailed at <ccss@ue.edu.ph>.
