Laboratory for Interdisciplinary Instruction in Digital Audio Technology in Music

通过仪器和实验室改进项目创建的数字音频实验室将支持一个跨学科的音乐数字技术教学项目，该项目涉及罗彻斯特大学电子工程系和伊士曼音乐学院。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，它将支持音乐学生的技术教育以及跨越这些极端学科的大量学生的有价值的组成部分。信号的数字化表示和处理是电气工程的关键之一；在音乐学习中，这项技术越来越多地被纳入其中，以至于它已经成为一个必不可少的方面。通过该项目创建的实验室设施将通过动手体验和原创学生作品的创作，为学生提供数字信号技术的实践指导。此外，在电气工程领域，该设备将为信号、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，该设备将为音乐制作、多媒体制作技术和音乐教育中的数字技术提供新的教学能力。后者将包括基于CD-ROM的教学材料，以及对声音操纵和传播的研究。这些材料的数字化格式将允许它们以传统的计算机磁盘格式、cd - rom或通过万维网的INTERNET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.
