• SCLPT 4460: Site/Space/Installation

  3.00 Credits

  University of Utah

  
  The studio course explores the making of installations (art works which are environment-based rather than object-oriented). Class activities include discussions and slide lectures investigating different variables in installation including the manipulation of site, space, sound and experience. Through the construction of environments, students explore site specific, multimedia, new media, collaborative and cross-disciplinary approaches to art making.

• SCLPT 4465: Studio Practice II

  3.00 Credits

  University of Utah

  
  This course is a continuation of ART/SCLPT 4410. Students focus on developing a body of studio work with a strong emphasis on establishing serial works and complete artist portfolios. Integration of written statements, research, and verbal skills is expected. Students are responsible for completion of artist portfolio, including slide documentation, resume, and statements related to works in progress. Exposure to specific sculptural vocabularies include mixed media, architectural, environmental, performance, installation, site work, and political/social.

• SCLPT 4470: Video and Projection

  3.00 Credits

  University of Utah

  
  This course develops an understanding of digital video technology as a means of creating art works in conjunction with 3-dimensional media areas. It explores digital aesthetics and conceptual aspects of digital processes and imagery, focusing on integration of these processes with more traditional art formats. Having prior computer skills is not a prerequisite. Technology demonstrations provide necessary information and skills in digital input, output, and manipulation processes in both digital video and sound formats. Prerequisites: "C-" or better in (SCLPT 3410 AND Minor status in Sculpture) OR Instructor Consent.

• SCLPT 4480: Art Action & the Enviro

  3.00 Credits

  University of Utah

  
  This course provides students with an opportunity to explore the role of the arts as a form of environmental action. Using texts, site visits, and discussions, the students will research current environmental issues locally, nationally, and globally and experience innovative arts projects by artists and art collectives that are addressing the current environmental crisis. Students will combine personal and collaborative approaches to creating artworks that invoke awareness and/or change within their community.

• SIME 5000: Analytics for Sys Mgmt

  3.00 Credits

  University of Utah

  
  This course provides a broad overview of analytics with a focus on using quantitative tools to better manage systems. The first third of the course focuses on developing introductory and basic python programming skills to read, store and graphically represent data. The topics covered include: arrays, loops, data structures and visualizing data. The second third of the class focuses on statistical analysis of data. The topics covered include: f and t hypothesis testing, confidence intervals, regression and clustering. The final third of the course presents how to use computers to generate improved or optimal solutions. The topics covered include neighborhood search, hill climbing or simulated annealing heuristic, linear programming and integer programming. The homeworks, projects and tests will draw data from a wide range of systems where analytic tools will identify better solutions for improved systems management.

• SIME 5060: Discrete Simulation

  3.00 Credits

  University of Utah

  
  This course introduces discrete event simulation (through Arena) and how it is applied to dynamic systems. Discrete event simulation concepts such as entities, resources, and event chains are introduced. Systems will be simulated considering time (such as work schedules, machine/human performance), space (such as process layout) and resource (such as manpower, equipment) characteristics of process. In doing that, the course covers a variety of Arena features and building blocks. The course will also introduce time studies, and distribution fitting. Prerequisites: 'C' or better in (ME EN 2550 OR MATH 3070 OR CH EN 2550 OR CS 3130 OR ECE 3530) AND (Full Major status in The College of Engineering OR The College of Mines and Earth Sciences)
