1. RATIONALE
The Computer Graphics course prepares students for activities involving the design and
development of graphics and animations found in media, entertainment, sciences and
engineering. The students needs to learn the basic elements of graphics, perform operation of
translation, scaling, rotation of two/three dimensional pictures, develop interactive graphics
user interface and prepare media elements for the above applications.
In this course the students will be able to learn basics of Computer Graphics, Output
Primitives, 2/3-Dimentional Geometry and Viewing, and Application of Computer graphics in
Image Processing. For some students this course may lead to a career in the area of graphics
and animations.
2. COMPETENCY (Programme Outcome according to NBA Terminology):
The course content should be taught and implemented with the aim to develop different types
of skills so that students are able to acquire following competency:
Develop capability to perform the operation of translation, scaling, rotation of
two/three dimensional pictures and implement it using functions in C.

6. SUGGESTED LIST OF EXERCISES/PRACTICAL
The practical/exercises should be properly designed and implemented with an attempt to
develop different types of practical skills (Course Outcomes in psychomotor and affective
domain) so that students are able to acquire the competencies (Programme Outcomes).
Following is the list of practical exercises for guidance.

However, if these practical/exercises are completed appropriately, they would also lead to
development of Programme Outcomes/Course Outcomes in affective domain as given in a
common list at the beginning of curriculum document for this programme. Faculty should
refer to that common list and should ensure that students also acquire those Programme
Outcomes/Course Outcomes related to affective domain.

7. SUGGESTED LIST OF STUDENT ACTIVITIES
Following is the list of proposed student activities like:
Prepare computer graphics as per specification.
Prepare programs for games.
8. SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGIES (If Any)
i. The subject requires both theory and practical emphasis simultaneously, so
that the student can understand the practical significance of the various
application areas.
ii. The teacher has to play a very active role for Units I, II, III, IV and V
demonstrating the fundamentals and their applications.
iii. Students will be able to learn fundamentals of graphics through practical
from unit II, III and IV.
iv. Students are assigned to prepare power point presentations on the various
applications of computer graphics.
