Undergraduate Opportunites at the PCG
Cornell University Program of Computer Graphics |

|
The Program of Computer Graphics is committed to exposing
undergraduate students to our cutting-edge technology and research.
However, because we are primarily a graduate education program,
the number of undergraduates we can involve is not large.
The opportunities that we offer are filled by
the most committed and talented students available, most of whom have
already taken one or more of our
computer graphics courses or
architectural design studios.
Independent StudyDr. Greenberg selects outstanding undergraduate students to work directly with him or with our graduate students and staff members on a variety of research topics. In rare semesters this may be as many as 4-5 students, and in some semesters there may not be any slots available.Past students have generated computer models and written application or research software, including Java applets to demonstrate fundamental principles in computer graphics. Interested students should visit Linda Stephenson in room 580, Rhodes Hall to arrange for an appointment with Dr. Greenberg. It's very helpful for him to have a brief statement of your academic background and interests to help ascertain whether there is a good possibility of defining an appropriate topic. The statement does not have to be formal, and should include anything you may feel is relevant, including (but not limited to) coursework or work experience in art, architecture, computer science, electrical engineering, film, math, mechanical engineering, optics, perception psychology, physics, theatrical design, or video. Students should be prepared to work on topics selected by Dr. Greenberg. Independent study projects are unpaid but students do receive academic credit for successful completion of the project.
Student Technicians - Work StudyEach semester the PCG hires several students to help us maintain our computer systems. This work includes running network cabling, moving and repairing hardware, installing software, and other "grunt" work. The work brings the students into contact with some of the latest graphics hardware and many of the research efforts here at the PCG. Interested students should contact Hurf Sheldon (hurf@graphics.cornell.edu)We prefer to provide these opportunities to students with work study eligibility. | ||||||
