The Master of Science in Architecture Program in Design Computing offers an opportunity to pursue graduate study in design computing ? an emerging field concerned with the development of a new generation of design software, application of simulation, analysis, and fabrication in the design process, and utilization of digital technologies to create smart environments. Students from many disciplinary backgrounds (including applicants without a previous design degree) join together to pursue education and research in areas that include design methods, augmented and virtual reality, simulation and analysis, collaboration and community, digital fabrication, human computer interfaces for design, smart environments and other related topics.
