Game Simulation and Production Education
Demand for Game Programmers
With gaming being one of the top 3 forms of entertainment in the US, the job opportunity for students earning a game design degree continues to grow. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) projects an increase of 14% for multimedia jobs by the year 2018 [1].
Additionally, this field generally boasts high salaries and offers a fun, flexible and creative environment in which to work. On average, game programmers can earn around $61,403 annually. After 6 or more years of experience salaries are expected to increase significantly.
Training and Education
Your education will combine foundations in Java, C++, Direct X and OpenGL with story development and 3D experience in order to prepare you to take on rolls in the exciting and exploding Game and Simulation industry. You will develop the ability to create realistic, multimedia environments for business, entertainment, government and other employment sectors.
What you will learn:
• General Programming (specialization in C++)
• Design
• 3D Graphics
• Data Structure Implementation
• Multiplayer Game Programming
• Story Design
• Project Management for Games
• Applied Physics in Game or Simulation Environments
• Artificial Intelligence
• Success Strategies
• Career Development

Possible Careers
Game designers are the brains behind the video games we all play. Lead designers guide the development of the game by conceptualizing the game's look, feel and play characteristics. Other game designers will work on specific elements like sections of multilevel games or story boards. Here are a few possible careers a graduate with a game design degree might pursue:
Game Programmer – Write and develop code for video game software. Understand functionality and how to increase playability to create a seamless experience across the game.
Graphic Programmer - Design environments and characters within simulations and games to achieve a particular look or style. Work with the newest graphic design software. Work toward creating smooth animation playback.
Level Designer - Create the difficult challenges for game players to overcome in order to beat a game. Write and develop code to address different game scenarios (such as multiplayer mode). Work with 3D and 2D commercial design programs to build level editors that can handle complex game play.
Playability, Usability and Beta Tester - Test early versions of simulations and games to ensure that they are meeting goals and standards. Make recommendations for improvements. Pay close attention to detail while testing to pick out even the smallest problems.
