MSA 451-DL : The Technology of Sport

Description

The Technology of Sport provides an interactive tour of technology, related products/services that form technical solutions, and the current and future state of technology as it relates to sports. MSA 451 goes beyond the what of technology, and explores the how highlighting technological impacts on the sports business landscape. Students will become comfortable with the terms and tools that comprise technology, specifically those most applicable to the sports industry and within a sports business setting. Students will examine real-world case studies of how technology is applied to augment athletic competition and empower sports business through a series of lectures, guest speakers, site visits, and relevant media. The course will evaluate student’s comprehension of technological concepts, implementation of those concepts, and tangible business enhancements. A midterm examination and a final project are used to advance students’ application of these technological skills.
