19. Course aims and outcomes:

A- Aims: The main goal of this course is to teach students the foundation of computer graphics and how images are generated on the computer. The course aims to provide you with sufficient background in the theoretical concepts behind primitives drawing and geometric transformations, and to write computer graphics applications. Objectives include enabling students to:

1. Learn about computer graphics and its broad applications in various aspects of our day to day life. 2. Understand the algorithms used in computer graphics to build 2D/3D complex models from basic output

primitives.

3. Understand the techniques used in computer graphics for geometric transformations.

4. Understand the viewing pipeline and what goes behind the scene for images to look the way they do and how to manipulate parameters to control the model view.

5. Write computer graphics applications and implement the various techniques discussed throughout the

course using OpenGL.

B- Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs): Upon successful completion of this course students will be able to … A- Knowledge and Understanding: Students should …

A1) Learn the concepts of computer graphics, including graphics primitives, and geometric transformations

A2) Know the important principles of computer graphics B- Intellectual skills: with the ability to …

21. Teaching Methods and Assignments:

Teaching (T) Strategies: The class contact is 3 hours per week. The course will be delivered using different means like lectures, presentations, demonstration examples, and discussions. Learning (L) Methods: Students attend classes, ask questions and participate in discussions, do the homework, present and demo their work. Students will use the lab to implement the practical parts. Students will access the e-learning platform for more instructions and supported learning materials. Assessment (A) Methods: There will be several assessment methods of evaluating the performance of the students such as attending and class participation, grading the quizzes; conducting the Midterm and the Final Exams.
