The Art of Scientific Visualization

3 cr · Undergraduate

This interdisciplinary course encourages students from disciplines across the University to use techniques from the visual arts to create high-impact visualizations of research data. Topics include data representations and visual analytics; human perception, composition, colour theory and practice; communicating with the public; and science's current impact in the art realm. A hands-on workshop format will be the main mode of learning how to incorporate perception-based design principles into static digital images and dynamic computer interactives. This course is intended for upper year undergraduates interested in scientific visualization. May not be held with SCI 4000 when the topic was The Art of Scientific Visualization.
