Editor's Notes
- #13 Cogswell’s academic approach: An integrated curriculum of digital media, engineering, technology, and entrepreneurship along with a broad foundation in general education will prepare Cogswell's students for the industries of the global Digital Age. Cogswell's undergraduate approach is to deliver a project-based curriculum that emulates the collaborative, cross-disciplinary nature of real industry. This program utilizes a blend of kinesthetic arts, engineering integration, and entrepreneurship skills that come together in Project X, a unique class project that combines multiple student specialties to create an animated short ‘film’ – building important collaboration and teamwork skills.“Digital Art and Animation” plus “Digital Audio Technology” are the two cornerstone curriculum elements in today’s college. These courses are long-standing, with senior faculty and a proven track record of student accomplishment both within the school and later in their chosen careers. Seventy-five percent of Cogswell’s campus students choose a major that incorporates these courses deeply.Cogswell is partnered with local cities on their Arts initiatives already. Cogswell is also exploring a joint partnership with Harvey Mudd College, a premier engineering school that is part of the Pomona Colleges complex. Mudd has traditionally hosted a Clinic for industrial practicums; they need an “arts partner” to do Clinics for many of their Hollywood associations. Cogswell is becoming “known” abroad. The Palo Alto based Danish Innovation Center brought a group to Cogswell two years ago. Denmark’s leading-edge innovation team has received plaudits from many European groups, as well as Stanford’s Tech Ventures council, so the ‘word’ is getting out in places. Nonetheless, the biggest challenge for the college – in our view – is the lack of brand awareness for what has already been accomplished. Establishing that brand more widely, and then tying it to the Entrepreneurship programs as a relatively unique integration could be world-leading on both counts.

- #15 Project X is the capstone for the Cogswell experience. Project X brings together students from all parts of the college – digital arts, digital media, digital engineering, and entrepreneurship – to create a leading-edge animated ‘short’. Two have been done to date, managed by Michael Huber, who has significant movie and gaming industry experience. Both films have met critical acclaim – actually extraordinary critical acclaim – as witness the quote carried above.The first one, for example, was selected by SIGGRAPH 2010 for ‘screening’, which in itself is an achievement. It was entered in the “industrial” category rather than “student”, and won third place overall. Stupendous, given who competes.That one also won the musical score for an animated short – WON IT – in Beijing, after the judges at first wanted to disbar it because clearly the group had taped a ‘live orchestra’. Judges from Pixar and Dreamworks taught the rest of the judges how to tell that it was a synthesized music score.A Pixar employee asked if we’d allow them to make an alternative score for Worlds Apart. We said, “sure”, and the resultant soundtrack, done with members of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, is a great comparison teaching tool for our students next year.
