  abstract =     "Introductory Computer Graphics is a popular and
                 motivational course for computer science
                 undergraduates. The students have the ability to
                 ``see'' the results of their programs, the opportunity
                 to apply a high level of creativity, and the
                 satisfaction of impressing their peers. Computer
                 animation provides similar advantages from a
                 motivational point of view. A normal scheduling
                 sequence for these two courses would place them in
                 successive semesters (or quarters) in the curriculum,
                 presumably in the senior year so students have as much
                 computer science experience as possible prior to
                 starting the graphics course. Unfortunately, at the Air
                 Force Academy, such a sequence was not possible,
                 forcing us to investigate the integration of the two
                 courses during the same semester (second semester
                 senior year). Our experience is that the two courses
                 could not only be successfully integrated during the
                 same semester, but that the student experience in each
                 course benefited from the concepts being simultaneously
                 presented in the complementary course. This paper will
                 provide background on the two courses, describe our
                 experience in teaching them simultaneously, and discuss
                 our future plans for expanding the pilot program.",
