Special Project: Travel Support for International Computer Graphics Education Workshops

该项目寻求非常少量的旅行资金，以支持美国教师参加2006年和2008年的研讨会。这笔数额将大致抵消与欧洲而非国内旅行有关的额外旅行费用。智力优势：计算机图形学课程和必要课程的开发涉及了解计算机图形学技术和技术的最新和当前的研究和发展，并将这些研究和发展工作整合到本科和硕士水平的教育中。我们将让计算机图形学教师参与进来，他们在我们创建课程的过程中积极参与研究和教学，他们将根据自己的研究和开发经验创建课程。通过这种方式，我们将推动整个计算机图形学领域的发展，特别是帮助学生为该领域的研究工作做好准备。更广泛的影响：计算机图形学课程和将通过这个项目开发的课程将导致美国更广泛的计算机图形学研究。这些研究将包括将当前或最近的研究工作整合到预研究计算机图形学课程中，并将产生一批在计算机图形学方面受过更好教育的计算机科学专业人员，从而提高计算机专业的图形能力。

This project seeks a very modest amount of travel funds to support US faculty to participate in the 2006and 2008 workshops. This amount is set to approximately offset the extra travel costs associated with European rather than domestic travel.Intellectual Merit:The development of a computer graphics curriculum and the necessary courses involves understanding the recent and current research and development of computer graphics techniques and technologies, and integrating this research and development work into undergraduate and masters-level education. We willinvolve computer graphics faculty who are actively involved in both research and teaching as we create the curriculum, and they will create courses based on their research and development experience. In this way we will move forward the entire computer graphics field and in particular will help prepare students for research work in the field.Broader Impacts:The computer graphics curriculum and courses that will be developed through this project will lead to a much broader kind of computer graphics studies in the US. These studies will involve integrating current or recent research work into pre-research computer graphics courses and will result in a group of computer science professionals who are much better educated in computer graphics, improving thegraphics capability of the computing profession.
