Average Course Rating

An introduction to background principles and the applied techniques in computer acoustic modeling for prediction and research. This may include computational models, models for physical acoustic behavior, barrier considerations, noise models for building systems and absorption models, but the core of the course will focus on geometric room acoustic prediction and auralization simulation models. The course will focus on the techniques, development, potentials, strengths and limitations of acoustic models as tools, rather than on specifically how to operate a single software platform. A deep understanding of current and relevant modeling programs used will be inherent. Open to MA Acoustics students only or by permission of the instructor. [2 Credits]
