Abstract
The University of Hartford’s College of Engineering provides a service course entitled ‘‘Introduction to Musical and Architectural Acoustics’’ for nonengineering students majoring in such degree programs as music (at the Hartt School), technology fields, or the liberal arts. The material covers: acoustics terminology and concepts; a study of the science of each musical instrument family; sound radiation patterns of instruments and the implications for sound recording technology; the auditory system and hearing conservation; and an introduction to architectural acoustics related to such applications as band room and auditorium design. This presentation will describe some of the multi-media techniques for in-class presentation of the material as a means of better disseminating complex information using a sensory-rich environment. The extent to which this course fits into the assessment goals and general education science requirements of these nonengineering majors will also be discussed.
