Demographics Of Undergraduate Students In Game Degree Programs In The Us And Uk, Monica M. Mcgill, Amber Settle, Adrienne Decker Oct 2013

Demographics Of Undergraduate Students In Game Degree Programs In The Us And Uk, Monica M. Mcgill, Amber Settle, Adrienne Decker

Amber Settle

Over the last decade, there has been a growth in the video game industry and, at the same time, game degree programs at postsecondary institutions worldwide have grown in quantity and quality. Representation of gender and race in games and in the game industry workforce is an important issue. We explore this topic in our research, providing an overview of the demographics of undergraduate students in game degree programs in the United States and the United Kingdom. We include race, gender, ethnicity, political preferences, sexual orientation and more. Gender results indicate that males make up the significant majority in undergraduate …

Diversity In The Game Industry: Is Outreach The Solution?, Amber Settle, Monica M. Mcgill, Adrienne Decker Oct 2013

Diversity In The Game Industry: Is Outreach The Solution?, Amber Settle, Monica M. Mcgill, Adrienne Decker

Amber Settle

Over the last decade, the International Game Developers Association (IGDA) has considered the lack of diversity in the game industry workforce a quality of life issue. Using the results of our recent study on demographics of undergraduate students in game degree programs, we compare our data against data reported in the 2005 IGDA Quality of Life survey. The most significant result of this study is that gender diversity in the current group of undergraduate students studying games is statistically the same as that reported within the industry seven years ago, with an approximate 8 to 1 ratio of males to …

Magnetron Sputtering Of Ni-Ti Thin Film Simulation By Using Embedded Atom Model, Ajit Behera May 2013

Magnetron Sputtering Of Ni-Ti Thin Film Simulation By Using Embedded Atom Model, Ajit Behera

Ajit Behera

Nickel-Titanium Thinfilm shape memory alloys formed by sputtering have been promising candidates for the realization of powerful actuators in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) such as micro valves, micro fluid pumps and micromanipulators. In order to increase the actuation response of the microactuator utilizing SMA thin films, it is necessary to study the sputtering process parameter. The present work simulates the movement of Ni and Ti atoms on NiTi film During impingement, revealed re-sputtering, which is manipulated by Classical molecular dynamics simulation.
