Abstract

The use of numerical simulations in an undergraduate course introductory acoustics course can be a way to provide students with a method of exploring concepts that are difficult or costly to replicate in a classroom. For a course taught that serves a diverse group of students studying a large variety of majors, the importance of having multiple ways to present and revisit concepts should not be underestimated. Several simulations have been developed using Glowscript for use in a general education acoustics course. Additionally, the PICUP framework for development of exercise sets has been used to structure classroom activities in a way that encourages scaffolding of concepts from the most basic ideas to more complex applications. Examples of the Glowscript simulations and the development of PICUP exercises will be demonstrated.
