Laboratory for Interdisciplinary Instruction in Digital Audio Technology in Music

通过这项乐器和实验室改进项目建立一个数字音频实验室，将支持罗切斯特大学电气工程系和伊士曼音乐学院在音乐数字技术方面的跨学科教学项目。新的实验室设施将支持工程和理科学生教育中的关键课程组成部分，它将支持音乐学生以及跨越这些极端学科的一大批学生的技术教育中的一个宝贵组成部分。信号的数字表示和处理是电子工程学的重点之一；在音乐研究中，这项技术正越来越多地被纳入，以至于它已经成为一个基本方面。通过该项目创建的实验室设施将使学生能够通过动手体验和创作原创学生作品来进行数字信号技术的实践教学。此外，在电气工程方面，该设备将在信号、通信和数字信号处理领域增加新的教学能力，在伊士曼学院，该设备将在音乐制作、多媒体制作技术和音乐教育方面实现新的数字技术教学能力。后者将包括以光盘为基础的教学和教学材料，以及关于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通过万维网以传统的计算机磁盘格式、光盘或诸如因特网之类的网络进行传播。

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.
