Graphics

The increasing computational power and memory capacity of personal computers has made it possible to develop sophisticated graphics capabilities on relatively inexpensive machines. The demand for individuals who are skilled in developing computer graphics for customized applications is increasing. This demand is driven by the extremely broad range and variety of applications, which include three dimensional object recognition in robotics, reconstruction of a three dimensional objects from a set of two dimensional slices, high quality graphics for web sites, geometric modeling for animation and movie production, to name a few. This specialization is designed to prepare individuals for a career in this field.
