Computer Graphics Laboratory Equipment

这笔赠款使计算机和信息科学部能够建立一个硅图形(SGI)计算机实验室。为了促进计算机图形学在科学和艺术领域的应用，该大学开设了一系列计算机图形学本科课程。这些课程使学生准备好使用现有的图形软件并开发图形输出以满足他们的特定需求，增强学生对数学和科学数据的理解，并允许学生更好地可视化他们的环境。这些课程向计算机科学、工程、数学、化学、物理、生物、广播、电视和电影以及艺术等专业的学生开放。该实验室是全校范围内新课程、以前资助的研究项目和所有感兴趣的学生的资源。预计每个学年将有多达400名学生使用这个计算机图形学实验室。

This grant is enabling the Department of Computer and Information Science to build a Silicon Graphics (SGI) computer laboratory. To foster computer graphics use in the sciences and arts the university has initiated a series of undergraduate courses in computer graphics. These courses prepare students to use available graphics software and to develop graphics output to solve their specific needs, enhance student understanding of math and science data, and allow students to better visualize their environment. These courses are open to students in computer science, engineering, mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology, radio, television and film, and art. The lab serves as a campuswide resource for new courses, previously funded research projects, and all interested students. As many as 400 students are expected to use this computer graphics lab each academic year.
