0) Y3S2

Prerequisite: None

Contact Hours: Lectures 30 and Practicals/Tutorials 30

Purpose of the course:

This course introduces students to computer graphics concepts, that is, creating graphic systems
and manipulating graphics.

Expected Learning outcomes of the Course:

At the end of this course, the student should be able to;
i. Explain the algorithms involved in generating computer graphic displays.
ii. Implement graphic output on a computer.
iii. Carry out the basic mathematical manipulations that transform graphic objects using graphic
tool kits to implement graphic software.

Course content:
Use of Computer to model and graphically render two- and three-dimensional structures. Graphics
devices and languages, 2- and 3-D object representations; Various aspects of rendering realistic
images; Implementation of programs spanning all stages of the 3-D graphics pipeline: Clipping;
Projection; Arbitrary viewing; Hidden surface removal; Shading.
Mode of delivery:
The course will be taught by using lectures, academic field trip, tutorials and assignments.

Instructional Materials and/or Equipment:

Resource persons, textbooks, hand-outs, LCD projectors, laptops/computers, discussion aids,
chalk/white boards, DVDs, and e-journals.
