Enhanced Undergraduate Instruction in Graphics Science

该项目是在工业工程系创建一个计算机图形学实验室。12台Tektronix图形终端和数字化平板电脑将连接到一台VAX主机。将重点介绍三个方面的图形。除了计算机图形、通信和文档的常规用途外，还将探讨“构思”的想法。这个想法是为了给工程专业的学生一个图形工具，使他们能够可视化地设计一件物品。这应该会帮助学生更有创造力，而不需要花费大量时间在草稿板上制作纸质图像。

This project is to create a computer graphics laboratory in the Department of Industrial Engineering. Twelve Tektronix graphics terminals and digitizing tablets will be connected to a host Vax computer. Three area of graphics will be stressed. In addition to the conventional uses for computer graphics, communication and documentation, the idea of "ideation" will be explored. This idea is to give the engineering student a graphical tool to enable the student to visualize the design of an item. This should help the student to be more creative without spending a lot of time at the drafting board making paper images.
