Computer Models and Virtual Worlds: Your Environment

56-2980

Students explore different techniques, including 2D and 3D modeling and animation, to visualize scientific concepts, such as nuclear power, acid rain, the ozone layer and the Greenhouse Effect. Students design and create models for communicating science in the Science Institute's Science Visualization and Communication Laboratory. Students with prior 3-D modeling experience will have the opportunity to work with advanced 3-D modeling and animation software, such as LightWave. Laboratory work outside of class time is a required component of the course.
