The goal of this course was to introduce the attendants to scientific principles of the existing computer graphic tools of advanced visualization and design in professional practice. A basic lecture on computer types and their common auxiliary equipments was added to the theoretical aspects. Some applications were presented in the wide range of engineering and urban planning fields such as urbanization, environmental engineering, reinforced concrete structures, and construction. A lecture on the most advanced commercial modelling programs such as AutoCAD was added as well as the advanced 3Dstudio visualization. The methods for performing computer animation work and post-production digital video techniques were also mentioned.
