16:50 An Evolving Approach to Computer Graphics Courses in Computer Science
Steve Cunningham, California State University, Stanislaus

Abstract. Recent developments in computer graphics APIs permit us to take a new approach to teaching a first graphics course that parallels a first computer programming course. This first graphics course, and a second course that could follow it, are briefly described and are placed in the context of current graphics courses.
