Laboratory for Interdisciplinary Instruction in Digital Audio Technology in Music

通过这个仪器和实验室改进项目创建一个数字音频实验室，将支持涉及电子工程系和罗切斯特大学伊士曼音乐学院的音乐数字技术跨学科教学项目。新的实验室设施将支持工程和科学学生教育的关键课程组成部分，并将支持音乐学生技术教育的重要组成部分，以及跨越这些极端学科的一大群学生。信号的数字表示和处理是电气工程的重点之一;在音乐研究中，这项技术越来越多地被纳入，它已经成为一个重要方面。通过该项目创建的实验室设施将通过实践经验和原创学生作品的创作，为学生提供数字信号技术的实用教学。此外，在电气工程中，设备将在信号，通信和数字信号处理领域增加新的教学能力，在伊士曼学校，设备将使音乐制作，多媒体制作技术和音乐教育中的数字技术的新教学能力。后者将包括以光盘为基础的教学材料，以及对声音处理和传播的研究。这些材料的数字化格式将使其能够以传统的计算机磁盘格式、光盘或诸如通过万维网的互联网等网络传播。

The creation of a digital audio laboratory through this Instrumentation and Laboratory Improvement Project will support an interdisciplinary teaching venture in Digital Technology in Music involving the Department of Electrical Engineering and the Eastman School of Music of the University of Rochester. The new laboratory facilities will support key curricular components in the education of engineering and science students and it will support a valuable component in the technical education of students of Music as well as for a large group of students in disciplines spanning these extremes. Digital representation and manipulation of signals is one of the keystones of Electrical Engineering; and in music study, this technology is being increasingly incorporated to the extent that it has emerged as an essential aspect. The laboratory facilities created through the project will enable practical instruction in digital signal technology to students via hands-on experience and the creation of original student work. Additionally, in Electrical Engineering the equipment will add new instructional capabilities in the areas of Signals, Communications, and Digital Signal Processing, and at the Eastman School the equipment will enable new instructional capabilities in Digital Technology in Music production, Multimedia Production Technology and Music Education. The latter will include CD-ROM based instructional and pedagogical materials, as well as research into sound manipulation and transmission. The digitized format of these materials will allow for their dissemination in conventional computer disk format, CD-ROMs, or networks such as the INTERNET via World Wide Web.
