IEEE Region 4 Seminar: What Game Designers Do (When They Aren’t Making Games)

In this talk, Illinois Tech Game Design and Experiential Media (GEM) faculty member Carly Kocurek talks about the professionalization of game design, the development of game design degree programs, and the diverse and sometimes surprising career paths that game designers pursue. Degree programs like Illinois Tech’s GEM and Worcester Polytechnic Institute’s Interactive Media and Game Design (IMGD) train students may place games at the forefront, but the robust skills in experience design, project management, and other areas can lead students to interesting places.
