The Department of Computer Science will establish a Computer Graphics and Visualization Laboratory to address the increasing interest and demand for instruction in data visualization techniques, for both majors and non-majors. The project will allow the creation of the laboratory featuring a cluster of powerful UNIX workstations configured with hardware, peripherals, and software specifically to support high- performance computer graphics. The laboratory will enable the department to enhance and extend two existing major courses, Computer Graphics and Advanced Graphics and Visualization, and to offer for the first time service courses focusing specifically on advanced visualization techniques. The development plan calls for the immediate introduction of a course targeted at science majors, Data Visualization and Display Techniques, with the possibility of other service courses being added later to address the needs of other potential user groups. The laboratory's graphical environment will support both these regular courses and special projects, and will extend the level of training beyond what is possible with the currently available PC-instructional clusters. With the new laboratory, the students can gain hands-on experience with state-of-the-art graphics and visualization technologies and better prepare themselves for careers in research, public service, or industry.

计算机科学系将建立一个计算机图形和可视化实验室，以满足专业和非专业学生对数据可视化技术教学日益增长的兴趣和需求。该项目将允许创建以一组功能强大的UNIX工作站为特色的实验室，这些工作站配备了专门支持高性能计算机图形的硬件、外围设备和软件。该实验室将使该部门能够加强和扩展现有的两个主要课程，即计算机图形学和高级图形学和可视化，并首次提供专门针对高级可视化技术的服务课程。该发展计划要求立即推出一门针对理科专业、数据可视化和显示技术的课程，并可能在以后增加其他服务课程，以满足其他潜在用户群体的需求。实验室的图形环境将支持这些常规课程和特殊项目，并将扩展培训水平，使其超出目前可用的PC教学集群的可能。有了新的实验室，学生们可以获得最先进的图形和可视化技术的实践经验，并为自己在研究、公共服务或工业领域的职业生涯做好更好的准备。
