I have recently finished my diploma with a distinction average. I loved every second of the course. It is a generalized design degree, which means that I've had to do industrial design assignments, film design, Magazine Design and Graphic Design, This year I focused on multimedia using Director and Animation using MAYA.
This gave me a solid foundation in Mathematics, Algorithms, 3D Geometry, Electronics, and Physics. They also used C++ as the core teaching language, so consequently I consider C++ and Java to be my "Natural" Languages.
This involved undertaking a special project in the department. The project was research into distributed control. Bjorn Wittenmark presented the findings of this project to the International Control Conference in December 1998.
