This book reflects the many changes that computer graphics
technology has under gone in my working life time. I graduated from
a teachers college in 1963. There was not a computer of any kind on
campus, imagine my shock when my very first college employer (Omaha
University) required me to know something about an IBM 1620 and a
key punch machine The first part of this book is an account of that
experience at Omaha University and later the Nebraska of Nebraska
at Omaha. When I moved to Clemson University in 1976, they had a
computer and a large Calcomp Plotter but nothing else in the way of
computer graphics hardware or software. So, except for a few short
sections in chapter one, this history begins with the events of
1963 and proceeds to document what happened to computer graphics
for engineering design and manufacturing as practiced by an
engineer or technician at Clemson University. The next section of
the book contains my experiences as a self-employed consultant
(1993-present), my consulting started in 1984 after I completed a
PhD in Data Systems Engineering. In 1993, I left full time teaching
and became Professor Emeritus at Clemson University. I wanted to
start my own consulting company, DLR Associates. Oddly enough, most
of my first consulting in computer graphics took place in the Omaha
and Pennsylvania areas - not South Carolina. My contacts came from
my paper presentations at various ASEE meetings and the annual
national distance learning conferences held at the University of
Maine. I took a year off to accept a Fulbright Scholarship
Nomination from the University of Rookee, India. I was listed as an
international member in the Who's Who Directory of the computer
graphics industry. In a nut shell, that is who I am. Why, then, did
I decide to write this book?
