UCSD AMES 293:
Advanced Computer Graphics for Engineers and Scientists
AMES 293 covers a variety of topics in advanced
computer graphics and scientific visualization.
Students use Silicon Graphics workstations with 3D hardware accelerators.
All projects are done in C using OpenGL.
UCSD AMES 157:
Computational Tools for Mechanical Engineering Design
UCSD CSE 167:

Seminar course on rapid prototyping technology
Girl Scout Science Interest Group:
The Science Interest Group is a program started in 1989
for 7th to 12th grade girls in San Diego County who have
an interest in science. There are no prerequisites to be
part of this program and no cost besides a small Girl Scout
registration fee.
The program consists of girl-planned science activities
(including computer science), trips, and speakers.
Mentoring by a scientist is available to interested girls.
The group is sponsored by the San Diego Supercomputer Center.
For more information, see:
the Science Group web page.
Girl Scout Computer Badge Day:
The girls in the Science Interest Group offer a Computer Badge Day
once or twice a year for Junior Girl Scouts (grades 4-6).
Attendees spend most of a Saturday at the
San Diego Supercomputer Center.
They get hands-on experience on desktop computers (Macintoshes)
and 3D UNIX-based graphics workstations (Silicon Graphics).
They complete various exercises to familiarize themselves with
the uses of computers in today's world.
At the end of the day, each girl will receive the Girl Scout
Computer badge.

Boy Scout Computer Merit Badge Day:
Attendees spent 5 hours on a Saturday at the
San Diego Supercomputer Center.
They received hands-on experience on desktop computers (Macintoshes)
and 3D UNIX-based graphics workstations (Silicon Graphics).
They completed exercises to show how computers represent various kinds of data,
compared source code versus object code,
learned about different computer languages,
and learned the vocabulary used in today's computer world.
