Course Objectives (Course-level Student Learning Outcomes):
Upon completion of the course, the student should be able to: 1. Explain, apply, and implement the core concepts of computer graphics, including viewing, projection, perspective, modeling, and transformation in two and three dimensions. 2. Explain, apply, and implement the concepts of color models, lighting and shading models, textures, ray tracing, hidden surface elimination, and rendering. 3. Demonstrate and implement geometrical transformations and 3D viewing. 4. Demonstrate and implement graphics techniques including 3D transformation, lighting, textures, and ray tracing. 5. Implement common computer graphics algorithms and techniques in a modern computer language
Topics Covered (In Outline/Calendar):
* Shading and Color * Graphics primitives * 2D and 3D transformations * 3D viewing * Image and animation * Modeling
Student Learning Outcomes:
