Course Objectives:

This course is an introduction to the rapidly growing fields of CAD systems

and aims to develop an understanding of CAD related problems.

The course has four main objectives:

1. Understand the fundamental and advanced concepts in computer graphics

and computer-aided design

2. Know the functions of a geometric solid modeler and how to use any

particular modeler for modeling an object and the different ways of

manipulating it

Course Outcomes:

Students will demonstrate:

1. An understanding of computer graphics systems and geometric modeling

2. An understanding of curves and wire frame, surface and solid models
