Computer Graphics and Visualization Laboratory

计算机科学系将建立计算机 图形和可视化实验室，以解决日益增加的 数据可视化教学兴趣和需求 技术，无论是专业还是非专业。 该项目将 允许创建一个实验室， 配置了硬件的强大UNIX工作站， 外围设备和软件，专门支持高- 性能计算机图形。 该实验室将使 加强和扩展两个现有的主要课程， 计算机图形学和高级图形学与可视化，以及 首次提供服务课程， 特别是先进的可视化技术。 的 发展计划要求立即引入一个 课程针对理科专业，数据可视化和 显示技术，其他服务的可能性 后来增加的课程，以满足其他 潜在用户群。 实验室的图形环境 将支持这些常规课程和特别项目， 并将扩大训练水平， 与当前可用的PC教学集群。 与 新实验室，学生可以获得实践经验 拥有最先进的图形和可视化技术 更好地为自己在研究、公共领域的职业生涯做好准备， 服务业或工业。

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.
