Computer graphics programming is an extremely popular elective for engineering undergraduates. This article describes our experience in teaching students the techniques of developing interactive computer graphics applications, and in supervising them as productive developers of instructional applications. The features of EMU, a graphics program for displaying electromagnetic fields in waveguides and around antennas, are described as an example of software developed by students at Cornell.
