An Agenda for Education in Scientific Visualization Visualization '92 Workshop Report Gitta Domik Chair, Education for Visualization Subcommittee of the A CM S1GGRAPH Education Committee Department of Computer Science University of Colorado Boulder, Colorado domik@ siggraph.org Workshop goals The workshop was aimed at describing the diversities and commonalities of college/university courses in scientific visualization (SV) and making useful recommendations for educators in this field. The diversity of SV courses is rooted in ¢ the diverse audience (e.g. computer science versus science students; students knowledgable about concepts and algorithms in computer graphics versus students new to computer graphics) ¢ the diverse goals for such a course (e.g. preparing students for the use of visualization software versus preparing students for research in visualization versus preparing students to work on an interdisciplinary team to find solutions for computational science problems through visualization) ¢ the diverse background of the instructors (e.g. computer graphics, sciences, graphical design, perception). Agenda, workshop preparations and how far we actually got The agenda included introductions, several short presentations of visualization courses, a discussion of the diversity of goals for such courses, identification of core topics, as well as references, software and public domain data to recommend to
