A Dynamic Approach to Speech and Hearing Science Instruction

通过购买计算机仪器提供动手实验经验，增强沟通障碍专业本科生的科学基础。使用MacSpeech Lab II和MacAdios II作为数据采集、分析和显示的计算机处理工具，是该项目的基石。该系统与各种换能器连接，使本科生能够研究与表达性和接受性交流相关的广泛的声学和生理参数。该项目包括编写两本实验室手册（听力和语言科学），以促进使用该设备进行实验学习。这些手册，以及整个项目，将提供直接的实践经验，强调研究设计，逻辑和批判性思维技能的基础。这所大学将提供相当于奖金的金额。

The scientific foundation of undergraduate students majoring in Communication Disorders is being enhanced by providing hands-on laboratory experiences through the purchase of computer instrumentation. The use of MacSpeech Lab II with MacAdios II as a computer processing tool for data acquisition, analysis, and display, is the cornerstone of the project. The system is interfaced with various transducers, enabling undergraduate students to investigate a wide range of acoustic and physiologic parameters related to expressive and receptive communication. The project includes development of two laboratory manuals (Hearing and Speech Science) to facilitate experimental learning using the equipment. These manuals, as well as the entire project, will provide directed hands-on experiences that emphasize the fundamentals of research design, logic and critical thinking skills. The university will contribute an amount equal to the award.
