Comprised of a dynamic grouping of disciplines—graphic arts, interactive design, digital arts and illustration, animation, 3D design and digital video—the Graphic Design department offers students the technological training and design skills needed to enter a highly competitive industry. Committed to empowering students, our program provides a multidisciplinary design education, prepares students to be future designers, 并加强与专业和大学社区的联系.
The goal of the Butte College Graphic Design program is to prepare students for entry-level positions in the Design industries. Students who successfully complete the program and plan to earn a four-year degree will have a solid foundation for application to the design school of their choice. 美国劳工统计局表示，“多媒体设计师的就业”预计将增长8%, as fast as average for similar occupations from 2016 to 2026, 但这并没有考虑到设计专业的学生学习的不仅仅是基本的平面设计, 并且更符合美国劳工统计局关于Web开发人员的统计数据, UX and UI Designers, where the growth is expected to be close to 20% by 2020. This past Fall 2017 semester, the FT faculty in the Multimedia/Graphic Design program did a survey of 37 students who have graduated with a degree in either Graphic Design or Multimedia Studies, 其中34名学生目前在当地企业的设计岗位上工作, the other students have started their own businesses, 或者你是一名自由设计师，并通过当地的自由设计来养活自己. In Feb of 2018, 多媒体与平面设计专业第三学期的一名女学生, obtained a full-time position with a local industry leader, Build.com. The student's starting wage is $16hr, with full benefits. 随着广告商、出版商和计算机设计公司对设计的需求不断增加. 预计部分增长将源于视频娱乐市场的扩张, including drones, virtual reality, and 3D printing technologies, all of which are being implemented in our MSP department. Moreover, designers with Web site design and animation experience will especially be needed as demand increases for design projects for interactive media—Web sites, video games, cellular telephones, personal digital assistants, and other technology. Demand for graphic designers also will increase as advertising firms create print and Web marketing and promotional materials for a growing number of products and services. There are currently one fulltime and five associate faculty on the main campus teaching day and evening classes. 2017年，该学院申请并获得了50万美元的两年创客空间发展资助. This space is currently in development and will increase FTES, 为跨学科的学生，特别是设计和艺术系的学生提供技能培养. 该项目开设平面设计和多媒体设计8门课程, 并提交了另外6门课程的课程，将在未来两年内增加. 另外还有七个课程是多媒体研究项目的交叉课程. 我们还增加了两个新的无人机管理和无人机视频课程, 以及与我们在艺术大楼的新创客空间保持一致的创客空间课程. 班级规模取决于可用计算机的数量(三个苹果计算机实验室各有25台)。.
平面设计/MSP项目获得了5.5万美元，开始开发无人机项目. 无人机已经订购，并将开始在设计系的多个课程中使用. 目前有两门无人机课程正在进行课程设置, and will be offered in 2018/2019 school year.
The drones we purchased will offer students the ability to build skills that lead directly to employment and entrepreneurship in the Design and Multimedia fields. The Drone curriculum will also prepare students for drone flying ceritification and allow them to work in the industry.
The Graphic Design/MSP program was given Strong Workforce funding to purchase 3D Printers/Virtual Reality equipment. Multiple 3D printers and VR equipment has been purchased.
We have written a 3D Printing course that is currently going through curriculum and classes will be offered in the 2018/19 schol year. This equipment will help students gain valuable skills that relate to employment in fast-growing tech industries.
Reflections were performed in all Multimedia courses and faculty are beginning to add more succinct and thoughful comments on how SLOs in their courses are performing. In many ourses, 学生的各种能力在个别班级中被堆叠起来, 不允许教师轻松地涵盖与特定课程和学生需求相关的内容. In other courses, instructors are planning on doing more in-depth research into the needs of students and SLOs in program and curriculum review.

The Design and Multimedia department is developing new courses and incorporating new technologies that will give students skills that are current with workforce needs, such as using drones, and 3D printing. 无人机课程将允许跨多个学科的学生能够参加MSP课程, and add to skills in their areas of study, such as Agriculutre, Law Enforecement, and GIS.
PROGRESS: .2: The Multimedia and Design programs are building a Makerspace that is focused on building student skills that directly relate to local industry.
COMPLETION: .创客空间还将吸引学生和教师参与社区活动.
1. 雇佣两名新的英国《e世博官方网站》教员——尽管我们每年都提交申请，但这个问题一直没有得到解决.
2. Reinstate the DA&D实验室技术到12个月-这还没有解决，虽然它仍然需要, 虽然我们可以用两年的创客空间拨款让我们的两名技术人员多工作一个月.
3. Collaborate both within the department and with faculty in other areas - We have worked with the Communication department to offer courses that articulate with CSUC
4. Increase efforts to maximize students’ completion of certificates and/or degrees - We are developing new pathways and courses for students
5. Promote all DA&D项目——我们正在做社会媒体推广，以及社区和高中的拓展
6. Implement Learning Communities - This has not been addressed
7. Review pages and course descriptions for accuracy, 货币和清晰度-我们正在重新设计我们的课程，并增加新的课程，以回应学生的需求.
8. 验证小组建议明确说明课程顺序, including prerequisites - We are working on developing promotional materials such as brochures and other marketing materials.
9. Develop additional courses and degrees - We have written five new courses that are currently going through curriculum committee
Our newest goal is to use the makerspace we are creating to create connections with local industry and businesses within the community. 通过培训和技能，学生将在创客空间中获得, students will be more prepared for industry and employment.
Strategy 1 - Community Outreach
The Graphic Design and Multimedia Design programs will strive to increase the awareness of local high school students and business leaders by establishing and maintaining contact with the local media, high school design and art teachers, and the local business community. We invite local high school classes to tour our facilities; and we inviting business leaders to join the advisory board and visit our design facilities.
The Graphic Design and Multimedia department continues to conduct tours and presentations to high school students. We are visiting local high schools to speak to students.
策略二:提高学生技能，为行业工作做好准备
我们的学生通过实践设计行业最新的技术来学习. 特定的软件和硬件需要为我们的学生准备一个竞争激烈的行业.
我们开发了五门新课程，以满足学生的需求并保持软件的流通.
Strategy 3 - Need for Full-time faculty
We have lost three full-time faculty from the Digital Art & 在过去的五年里，没有人能替代这些教员.
Full-time oversight and management is needed to give our students the highest level of training and to give direction to our programs.
To maintain the core program, new faculty are needed.
Strategy 4 - Increased hours for Design Department Tech
Our Tech is now being used for Theater and Music, as well as Graphic Design, Fashion, Multimedia and Photography.
他还需要额外的时间来维护设备和管理我们项目的实验室. We were able to increase the Sculpture and MSP techs to one additional month each for two years based on a CCC Makerspace grant. 这项拨款将于2019年结束，我们需要再次增加工作时间.
The Photo Tech hours have been reduced and the workload continues to increase as other programs make use of these services.
Strategy 5 - Makerspace Lab
我们正在创建的创客空间将与社区内的当地工业和企业建立联系. 通过培训和技能，学生将在创客空间中获得, students will be more prepared for industry and employment.
学生将为进入工业和商业的多个领域做好更好的准备, 同时也为自己创业做好了更充分的准备.
None needed
The Graphic Design and Multimedia programs finished with the Chico Unified High School District Pathways grant to build connections with local high schools and increase awareness of our programs.
我们将继续为音乐/摄影/MSP/平面设计课程实施强大的劳动力补助金.
We have received $250,为学生和社区开发一个创客空间.

| Replace 10-year old Cintiq monitors with New Cintiq Monitors | Based on research by our computer tech, Ross Pyromski, 我们使用了11年的Wacom Cintiq显示器将在一个学期内无法使用. 由于Wacom和苹果电脑没有更新驱动程序，不再支持平板电脑, students will no longer be able to use the tablets. Labor information: 从2016年到2026年，平面设计师就业的预计变化因行业而异, but overall employment is expected to grow by 8%, the average among all industries. UX, UI, and areas that incorporate newer technologies such as Virtual Reality and Drones are quickly expanding and companies are in need of specially trained employees. Median pay is $65,300 per year and $31.40 per hour for basic design skills. UX designers currently make between $80k-$120k a year, and drone operators can make upwards of $75-$100 an hour. Locally, 我们的设计学生在奇科和巴特县的多媒体公司就业, these include companies such as Build.com, 5th Sun clothing, Lulu's, Son Media, and LifeTouch. |

| Reinstate lab tech to 11 months | Our lab tech is needed during the Summer months so that we have a tech to manage the equipment during Winter and Summer sessions. There is also additional work that needs to be completed that would be easier to have accomplished if the tech was here an additional month. |
