dc.description.abstractThis paper proposes a method for teaching a first-year course in computer science using graphicsbased problems as the teaching medium. Specifically, we present a method for instruction in programming using a semester-long project of developing a ray tracer. This effort is part of a larger project, in which a broad range of undergraduate courses are taught using computer graphics as the motivating application. An overview of this project is provided, along with description and results from the first trial CS2 course instructed using this technique.en_US
