Rules for evaluation and completion of the course
It is obligatory to attend all seminars and pass the control test for each seminar to a minimum extent. Other forms of checked instruction are specified by a regulation issued by the guarantor of the course and updated for every academic year.
Aims
The aim of the course is to give students an overview of current topics and trends in the field of audio engineering. Students will learn advanced techniques of analysis and processing of audio signals and musical works, including the use of artificial intelligence, modern trends in the area of acoustics solutions, modeling and design of electroacoustic transducers, theoretical and experimental psychoacoustics, virtual reality and other areas. Theoretical knowledge is demonstrated in the course on practical examples and case studies.
On completing the seminar, students will be able to:
- practice knowledge of modern trends in audio technology development
- assess the possibilities of using advanced audio technologies to solve practical problems
- take advantage of advanced audio technology knowledge in product development
- analyze the impact of advanced sound technologies on the development of audio systems
