Understand and explain the fundamentals of propagation of acoustic waves in air, fundamentals of room acoustics, hearing and voice, spatial sound perception, planning & design for good room acoustics (absorbers, reflectors, and diffusers), waves in solid media, sound radiation and generation, building acoustics, loudspeakers and microphones.
Apply the basic knowledge of audio and acoustics to achieve solutions for practical audio and acoustics problems.
Understand and apply the mathematical tools to solve engineering problems in sound propagation and electroacoustic systems.
Understand and explain the working mechanisms of electroacoustic transducers such as microphones and loudspeakers.
Recommend changes in electroacoustic systems including transducers such as microphones and loudspeakers.
Solve problems in audio engineering that relate to the choice of appropriate room acoustics for homes, studios, and simple auditoria.
Understand the significance of acoustic quality measures and human response acoustic signals.
