Computational Graphics and Visualization

Course Description

Provide an introduction to computer graphics drawing algorithms and two-dimensional and three-dimensional display techniques. Learn the current software and hardware used for computational graphics and visualization.

Course Outcomes

• Generate accurate representations of three-dimensional objects using application programming interface (API) libraries and computer graphics development best practices

• Create interactive graphics applications that respond to input devices allowing for successful navigation around three-dimensional objects and through three-dimensional space

• Employ best practices in formatting, commenting, and functional logic that produce reliable computer programs

• Defend computer graphic and program development decisions for their effectiveness in meeting project requirements

 

Required Materials

Using your learning resources is critical to your success in this course. Please purchase directly through SNHU’s online bookstore, MBS Direct, rather than any other vendor. Purchasing directly from the bookstore ensures that you will obtain the correct materials and that the Help Desk, your advisor, and the instructor can provide you with support if you have problems.

This course also requires the following applications and libraries:

 

• OpenGL

• Eclipse Neon IDE

• MinGW C++ Compiler

• The following libraries are included in the CS 330 Development Package:

  • FreeGLUT

 

• GLEW

• OpenGL Mathematics (GLM)

• SOIL2

 

Students will use the Development Installation Instructions for installing all applications and libraries. Students with Apple Mac computers should use Apple Boot Camp to run Windows.

 

Instructor Availability and Response Time

Your class interaction with the instructor and your classmates will take place on a regular, ongoing basis. Your instructor will be actively engaged within the course throughout the week. You will normally communicate with your instructor in the weekly discussions or the General Questions discussion topic so that your questions and the instructor’s answers benefit the entire class. You should feel free, however, to communicate with your instructor via SNHU email at any time, particularly when you want to discuss something of a personal or sensitive nature.

Your instructor will generally provide a response within 24 hours.
