Computer Graphics in the Engineering Curriculum

计算机图形学代表了工程课程中的一门新学科，也是工程设计和绘图的重要新工具。为期两周的研讨会将有16名参与者参加，在研讨会结束期间和结束后，教职员工将继续担任他们的导师。研讨会包括演讲、讨论、演示和其他形式的参与者和教职员工之间的互动，以帮助工程和计算机图形学领域的教学和研究。一年后在ASEE年度会议上举行的后续会议将包括在研讨会期间提出的研究论文的介绍以及与会者在本国机构所作的课程开发努力的讨论。该项目吸引、感兴趣、启发和启动了那些教授传统工程图学的有经验和有前途的本科生教师，他们需要动机、背景和技术来开发新的计算机图学实验室，并将尖端技术应用到基于CADD的现代工程图学课程的教学中。此外，参与者的动机是自力更生，为工程教育领域做出自己的研究贡献。国内机构为他们的教职员工支付参加会议的旅费。

Computer Graphics represents a new discipline in engineering curricula and a significant new tool for Engineering Design and Drafting. The two week seminar is incorporating 16 participants with the faculty continuing as their mentors both during and after the completion of the seminar. The seminar includes presentations, discussions, demonstrations and other forms of interaction between participants and faculty that aid in teaching and research in the area of Engineering and Computer Graphics. A follow-up meeting a year later at the annual ASEE Conference will include presentations of research papers initiated during the seminar and discussions of the course development efforts made by participants at their home institutions. This project attracts, interests, enlightens and initiates those experienced and promising undergraduate instructors teaching traditional Engineering Graphics, needing motivation, background and know-how in developing new Computer Graphics laboratories and applying leading-edge technology to the teaching of modern, CADD-based Engineering Graphics courses. Also, participants are motivated in becoming self-reliant in making their own research contributions to the field of Engineering Education. The home institutions are contributing the travel costs for their faculty to attend the meeting.
