Signature Polytechnic Experience (PolyX)

Signature Polytechnic Experiences (PolyX)

Signature polytechnic experiences (PolyX) at Cal Poly Pomona promote students’ discovery of the opportunities and challenges within the field and the development of creative and innovative solutions to those conditions. Through collaborative learning and intense mentoring, PolyX engages students beyond the classroom and prepares them for professional and civic success.

PolyX FYE Showcase

First-year students participate in a Signature Polytechnic Experience (PolyX) within their FYE courses and present their work at the PolyX Showcase each fall semester. This early immersion in Cal Poly Pomona's learn-by-doing approach and polytechnic advantage prepares students for success from their first semester.

PolyX offers you a one-of-a-kind educational experience through experiential learning, multi-disciplinary perspectives, collaboration and professional readiness.

Summary

The CPP VR Lab is organized as a 2-semester sequence, where students who take CS 4700 - Game Development during the fall semester can then continue to develop virtual reality games or applications during the spring semester. While the fall semester is organized as a regular (elective) course to build the necessary foundations and critical introspection skills, the projects during the spring semester are much more individualized, and directly guided by faculty.
