COURSE CODE: BTCS2401

COURSE NAME: Computer Graphics

SEMESTER: IV

Course Objectives:

Students will try to learn:

1. To introduce the use of the components of a graphics system and become familiar with building
approach of graphics system components and algorithms related with them.

2. To learn the basic principles of 3- dimensional computer graphics.

3. Provide an understanding of how to scan convert the basic geometrical primitives, how to transform the
shapes to fit them as per the picture definition.

4. Provide an understanding of mapping from a world coordinates to device coordinates, clipping, and
projections.

5. To be able to discuss the application of computer graphics concepts in the development of computer
games, information visualization, and business applications.

6. To comprehend and analyze the fundamentals of animation, virtual reality, underlying technologies and
principles.

COURSE OUTCOMES
