A Computer Graphics and Game Development Track in Computer Science

“计算机科学中的计算机图形和游戏开发轨道”项目正在开发3D图形和游戏开发的课程轨道。智力优势：该项目正在评估如何在现代本科计算机科学课程的严格限制下教授3D计算机图形学和游戏。他们正在引入一系列课程，以多学科的方式向学生教授基本的计算概念。更广泛的影响：该项目正在探索计算机图形学和游戏课程如何提高计算机科学本科生的入学率和保留率。他们正在探索适度的干预方法是否可以增加游戏编程特别是计算机科学对女性的吸引力。他们正在开发和评估一套结构良好的课程模板，可供类似机构采用和调整。pi正在通过在区域和国家会议上的发言来传播他们的成果。

Computer Science (31)The "A Computer Graphics and Game Development Track in Computer Science" project is developing a curriculum track for 3D graphics and game development. Intellectual Merit: This project is evaluating how to teach 3D computer graphics and gaming within the tight constraints of a modern undergraduate computer science curriculum. They are introducing a sequence of courses which teach fundamental computing concepts to students in a multidisciplinary fashion.Broader Impact: The project is exploring how computer graphics and gaming courses can increase both enrollment and retention in undergraduate computer science. They are exploring if modest intervention methods can increase the appeal of game programming in particular, and computer science in general, to women. They are developing and assessing a well structured template for a suite of courses which could be adopted and adapted by similar institutions. The PIs are disseminating their results through presentations at both regional and national conferences.
