Students will gain critical understanding of and hands-on experience with the fundamentals of audio technology. Student learning outcomes include deep understanding and practical familiarity with concepts such as signals and systems, electro-acoustics, sound effects, synthesis, and music protocols. Upon completion of the course, students will demonstrate:

• critical understanding of audio signals and systems
• knowledge and critical understanding of the fundamentals of analog audio technology, electro-acoustics, audio effects, and music protocols,
• the ability to understand the signal flow in typical equipment for audio processing, and
• the ability to use this knowledge to create a technological artifact for audio processing.
