Speech is a complex sound that can be described according to its acoustic characteristics. During the past few years, digital technology has been developed that enhances the ability to display, describe, and analyze speech. This department is currently revising a speech science course and laboratory to provide undergraduate students majoring in communication disorders with the application of state-of-the-art digital instrumentation in order to learn about the nature of human speech. In the past, students have not had access to these instruments as part of an integrated laboratory. The instrumentation being used in this project represents the most current technology for studying the characteristics of speech and utilizes IBM-compatible microcomputer systems and integrated hardware. With this instrumentation, students are able to capture, display, analyze, and describe the parameters of speech and voice using detailed experiments in a laboratory-based science course. This reflects a major revision in the existing speech science course because previous information about speech was available solely from lectures and in-class demonstrations. By changing the emphasis to a laboratory-oriented course, the project provides undergraduate students studying communication disorders with opportunities for improved understanding of the scientific bases of speech. In addition, students are introduced to the scientific process through a required research study involving speech analysis. In order to communicate the results of the investigations, the undergraduate students can develop papers and presentations and share them with graduate students and professionals at state and national meetings.

语音是一种复杂的声音，可以根据其声学特性进行描述。在过去几年中，数字技术的发展增强了显示、描述和分析语音的能力。该系目前正在修订言语科学课程和实验室，为沟通障碍专业的本科生提供最先进的数字仪器的应用，以了解人类言语的本质。过去，学生无法使用这些作为综合实验室一部分的仪器。 该项目中使用的仪器代表了研究语音特征的最新技术，并利用了 IBM 兼容的微计算机系统和集成硬件。借助该仪器，学生能够在基于实验室的科学课程中使用详细的实验来捕获、显示、分析和描述语音和声音的参数。这反映了对现有言语科学课程的重大修订，因为以前有关言语的信息只能从讲座和课堂演示中获得。 通过将重点改为以实验室为导向的课程，该项目为研究沟通障碍的本科生提供了加深对言语科学基础的理解的机会。此外，通过涉及语音分析的必要研究，向学生介绍科学过程。为了传达调查结果，本科生可以撰写论文和演示文稿，并在州和国家会议上与研究生和专业人士分享。
