    A Knowledge Base for the Emerging Discipline of Computer Graphics
    (The Eurographics Association, 9-7-2007) Orr, Genevieve; Alley, Tony; Laxer, Cary; Geigel, Joe; Gold, Susan; -
    Computer Graphics is evolving as a discipline characterized by the fusion of artistic and technical theories and skills. The goal of the SIGGRAPH Curriculum Working Group has been to create a knowledge base that defines this discipline. This knowledge base is presented as a palette of subject areas and skills that forms the necessary educational framework for creation of undergraduate curricula that specialize in computer graphics. It facilitates the development of attributes that will create paths toward professional work, graduate studies, and lifelong skills-development and learning focused on computer graphics. The details provided here are principally oriented toward faculty members designing new computer graphics programs or those evolving existing ones. They also benefit students who wish to craft their own programs in computer graphics, as well as administrators and accreditors seeking guidance for framing and assessing these programs.

    Survey of Industry Perspectives on 3D Computer Animation Education
    (The Eurographics Association, 22-10-2007) Flaxman, Tereza; -
    The paper summarizes the results of an online survey of 43 professionals working in the animation industry, including modelers, animators, technical directors, conceptual artists and lighting and texture artists. Respondents were asked to rate the appropriate level of emphasis of 14 topics commonly addressed in academic computer animation programs, ranging from fine arts skills to computer programming. Three relatively non-technical topics were top rated: fundamentals, preproduction and design/layout. There was substantial agreement in rankings among participants, even those with widely varying areas of professional interest. When asked about their own personal educational experiences 25% felt that they had been well prepared, 38% satisfactorily prepared and 37% underprepared.
