  • Welcome To Computer Graphics

    Hello my dear Students!!! Welcome to Computer Graphics Course. As we all may have know Computer Graphics is the major field of Computer Science & Engineering, which is the order of originating images with the computer. It's a core technology in digital photography, video games, film, cellphone & computer displays as well as many specialized applications. I will try my best to help you master this course and at the same time will help you to become a good person in life. We will all share our thoughts in the class. I hope I will also be able to learn something new from you. I will request your co-operation and support for the smooth conduction of classes and knowledge sharing.

    See you soon. Stay healthy and safe.
