Computer Graphics in Undergraduate Engineering Education

计算机图形学是一门新的学科， 传统的工程设计方法。 该项目将呈现 计算机图形学作为一门新兴的工程学科， 工程设计和绘图的重要新工具。 该项目的形式是一个研讨会/讲习班与一组16 在为期三周的时间里精心挑选的参与者。 它将 包括介绍、讨论、示范和其他形式， 参与者和教师之间的互动是积极的教学 在工程和计算机图形学领域的研究。 该项目将吸引，兴趣，启发经验丰富， 有前途的本科生教师教工程制图， 需要动机、背景和知识来开发新的计算机 图形实验室，并将尖端技术应用于 现代教学，计算机辅助设计与绘图（CADD）为主 工程制图课程。 它还承诺为参与者做好准备 帮助他们努力引进新课程， 工程计算机图形学，并激励他们成为自我- 在这一领域做出和发表自己的贡献 工程教育。 除了NSF的支持外，参与者还将提供约10%的资金， 旅行费用，大学贡献了额外的15%。

Computer Graphics is a new discipline that has profoundly changed traditional approaches to Engineering Design. This project will present Computer Graphics as a new discipline in engineering curricula and as a significant new tool for Engineering Design and Drafting. The format of the project is a Seminar/Workshop with a group of 16 carefully selected participants during a three week period. It will include presentations, discussions, demonstrations and other forms of interaction between participants and faculty that are active in teaching and research in the area of Engineering and Computer Graphics. The project will attract, interest, and enlighten experienced and promising undergraduate instructors teaching Engineering Graphics who need motivation, background, and know-how to develop new Computer Graphics laboratories and to apply leading-edge technology to the teaching of modern, computer aided design and drafting (CADD)-based Engineering Graphics courses. It also promises to prepare participants for and to help them in their efforts to introduce new courses in Engineering Computer Graphics, and to motivate them to become self- reliant in making and publishing their own contributions to this field of Engineering Education. In addition to NSF support, participants will provide about 10% in travel costs, and the University is contributing an additional 15%.
