Q2. What are the advantages of Computer Aided Design approach over the traditional manual design approach?
Q3. Prepare a comprehensive list of the specifications of a modern day general purpose PC. What are the additional
requirements for a modern day CAD / CAE PC?
Q4. List the recent advancements in the field of display, storage memory (hard disc, CD/DVD, CDROM), input devices

Q5. Compare the following input devices in terms of their resolution, positioning, sketching, response to hand
movement, digitizing and tracking:
Mouse, keyboard, light pen, touch screen and joystick.
Q6. Discuss the concept of homogeneous coordinates? Write the 3-d transformation matrices for rotation, scaling,
translation, shearing and reflection.
Q7. A square with vertices at (1,-1), (1,1), (-1,1) and (-1,-1) is transformed to the new vertices positon of (0,-1.5),
(2,1.5), (0,1.5) and (-2,-1.5). Find the shear transformation matrix.
Q8. Obtain the concatenated transformation matrix for performing reflection of a point (x,y) about an arbitrary axis
with equation y = x tan + b.
Q9. Derive the transformation matrix for (a) Orthographic projection; b); Perspective and c) Isometric projection. List
some real life applications of the above projections.
Q10. Derive the transformation matrices for obtaining the top, front and right-side views in third angle projection.
Q11. Using the Bresenhams algorithm scan convert 1) a circle of radius 5 and 2) a line from (10,4) to (16,8).
Q12. Draw a flowchart to illustrate the Liang-Barskys line clipping algorithm.
