      Condition Data structure
      The goal To enable students to gain an understanding of the methods and applications of computer graphics.
      The outcome Student will be able to: use matrix transforms to build and view a scene; discuss the standard methods of representing curves and surfaces; discuss the different techniques for rendering a scene, and identify those relevant to given applications; understand the issues in designing, developing and using computer graphics systems; develop appropriate computer graphics models or software.
