North Lake College Computer Graphics Advisory Committee

Several local design professionals, including FigDesign’s David Fiegenschue, met at North Lake College to review and provide input for the school’s growing Computer Graphics program. The group:

• Evaluated the goals and objectives of the Computer Graphics program
• Established workplace competencies for student occupations
• Revised and updated the Computer Graphics program curriculum
• Evaluated the adequacy of existing college facilities, equipment and software
• Advised on the purchase of new hardware and software
• Identified local business and industry leaders who may provide students with external learning experiences
• Sought placement opportunities and employment for students

“Education is obviously a key component in shaping the future of design and visual communications,” said Fiegenschue. “In this fast-paced and fluid environment, the next generation will need to be flexible, smart and up-to-date on tools, platforms and strategies to help clients. Colleges that lead students forward will help shape the language of design.”
