1987 Computer graphics education directory

This is SIGGRAPH's third directory of college-level compute r graphics education, covering courses in computer graphics i n several different subjects. This directory is a single source of computer graphics course information. If you are a studen t entering college or considering a change of studies, a professiona l considering broadening your skills, or an educator seeking broade r contacts in graphics among your peers, this directory is designe d for you. We compiled the directory from the responses to a questionnair e sent out this spring, and it is completely updated since the las t edition. The responses were separated by topic according t o information received on the questionnaire and our perception o f the course's audience. The placement of some courses may not b e precise, so you may be advised to use more than one directory lis t in searching for an interesting course. For example, if you ar c interested in graphics for architects you should consult the Arts , Architecture, and Design listings, but you might also find usefu l information in the list on Engineering. CAD ; CAM, and Drafting. You should follow up interesting entries by contacting the schoo l directly for the many details of schedule, cost, and admission whic h are not included here. We should point out that our listing is no t complete since we do not know of all the computer graphic s courses being taught, and some courses which were listed in 198 5 are not here since no information was received on them. The course information we received was placed in individua l lists by the following criteria. The Concepts and Systems lis t contains courses covering general concepts in computer graphic s and systems for producing graphics ; such courses are often foun d in computer science or EECS programs and have no particula r application orientation. The Engineering, CAD!CAM, an d Drafting list contains courses which seem to be oriented towar d applications in these areas. For CAD! CAM and drafting courses , this is rather easy to tell, while the engineering orientation i s inferred from a location in an engineering program with no othe r information, or from a title such as "Engineering Compute r Graphics ." Many engineering programs, however, have courses which seem to fit the Concepts and Systems category most closel y and so are listed there. The …
