  1. THE ARTS, MEDIA AND ENGINEERING PROGRAM transdisciplinary research and graduate education in experiential media

  2. Vision, Mission and Goals • What: Research and Graduate Education in Experiential Media • Researching the integration of the human physical experience with computation and digital media • Preparing experiential media experts across the arts, sciences and engineering • Why: To Improve the Human Condition • Producing experiential media systems and models that evolve human ability, facilitate learning, enhance scientific discovery, empower creativity, assist the disadvantaged and improve quality of life. • How: Through Collaborative Discovery • Team-based research • Diverse expertise covering the full scope • of the human experience • Interdisciplinary, multi-instructor courses • Emphasis on collective excellence

  3. Research Areas and Related specializations • Observation of activity and the physical world • Integrated sensing of physical and digital human activity • Extracting meaning from hybrid physical-digital human activity • Sensitization through meaningful digital feedback • Experience construction and emergence of new knowledge

  4. Focused Application Areas • Education: • Embodied and Mediated Learning • Health: • Biofeedback for • rehabilitation • Communication: • Reflective Living • Creativity: • Enactive Arts
