Learning objectives

Knowledge

• Must have broad knowledge in the area of acoustics, audio engineering, hearing and human sound perception.
• Must have knowledge in the field of sound and audio technologies including multi-channel sound recording and reproduction, measurement, instrumentation and standards.
• Must demonstrate insight into the area of human sound perception.
• Must demonstrate insight into existing everyday standard and advanced solutions in audio systems, e.g. HiFi, public address, CarFi, communication systems, and personal hearing devices (incl. portable devices).
• Must know how to formulate own competences related to PBL.

Skills

• Must be able to select and apply analytical, numerical and experimental methods for analysis and design of complex audio systems.
• Must be able to initiate and implement appropriate technical implementations for audio solutions, e.g. within binaural or multi-channel recording and reproduction techniques.
• Must be able to consider the impact of normal loudness perception and possible masking phenomena in the engineering solution(s).
• Must be able to consider spatial aspects of the sound image in the engineering solution(s).
• Can reflect over own use of PBL methods and how these methods can be used in future projexcts and work situations.

Competences

• Must be able to apply proper technical solutions in the field of audio engineering based on normal human sound perception.
• Must be able to communicate the results of the project work in a project report.
• Must be able to contribute successfully to teamwork within the problem area and make a common presentation of the result of the project work.
