Computer Graphics Education in Germany Jose Encarnacao, Institut fuer Informationsverwaltung und interaktive Systeme Heinrich Muller, Informatik VII Introduction During the last few years computer graphics education in Germany has expanded considerably. The institutions having computer graphics in their program are spread nearly uniformly all over Germany, although still not all universities offer this subject. Knowledge in computer graphics can be acquired in universities, technical schools (fachhochschule, in German) and private industrial organizations. In this contribution, we will restrict ourselves to universities and technical schools. Education in computer graphics usually forms part of a curriculum of a more general subject, mostly computer science (informatik). For that reason we will first explain the German system as a whole. Nationwide this system is quite uniform, but possibly the international reader of this article is not familiar with it. We will then describe the typical points of computer graphics education at universities, followed by those at technical schools. We will show how the education system is organized in general. The information is drawn from a general inquiry made in 1993 by the Special Interest Group of Computer Graphics within the G e r m a n Society of C o m p
