A thread is a specialization within several majors or minors at Georgia Tech, such as Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, and Computer Engineering.
College of Computing
Computer Science
A Computer Science major must take two of the eight available threads to fulfill degree requirements.[1]
The eight threads are:
- Devices: programming for embedded devices
- Information Internetworks: representing and transmitting information
- Intelligence: artificial intelligence, machine learning, computer vision
- Media: information visualization, video game development, new media
- Modeling and Simulation: high-performance computing, modeling complex systems and phenomena
- People: user experience research, human-computer interaction, product design
- Systems and Architecture: computer operating systems, compilers, languages
- Theory: theoretical computer science
For Computer Science, Information Internetworks is the most popular thread, followed by Intelligence, as of 2017.[2]
Computational Media
A Computational Media major must take one thread from the College of Computing, and one thread from either the Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts or the College of Design.
The three CS threads available are:
- Intelligence: artificial intelligence, machine learning, computer vision
- Media: information visualization, video game development, new media
- People: user experience research, human-computer interaction, product design
The four threads offered jointly by the Ivan Allen College and the College of Design are:
- Interaction Design: visual design, interactive systems, design capstone
- Film and Media Studies: film history, narrative development, critical media analyses
- Games: game studies, game development, digital art, interactive narratives
- Music Technology: recording and mixing, audio technology, sound design, composition
