Technical Education and Technical Publications are working in conjunction
to improve the quality of the NURBS documentation and course material.
As of March, NURBS will now be a part of our Graphics 2 course
(admittedly an expensive solution at $1200).  We also have created a
NURBS tutorial 
(similar to the 3-D projection and other tutorials) for the class.
