Linking Science, Art, and Practice in Digital Sound

计算机科学（31）这个文科大学和表演艺术学院之间的合作项目正在开发课程材料，说明数字声音的科学和数学，使用戏剧，电影和音乐中的例子。 它通过创建一本教科书，辅以交互式在线教程、电子书、MATLAB练习、编程练习和基于应用的项目，使学生能够探索艺术与数字媒体之间的联系，从而激发学生对科学的兴趣。 该项目正在创建从较高抽象层次到较低抽象层次以及从概念到实践的模块。 它正在使课程材料对不同背景的学生和计算机科学和表演艺术制作方面的各种课程的教师都是可访问的。 这些材料通过直接观察和问卷调查进行评估，以确定学生如何在概念和实践之间转换，并找到更好的方法将概念教科书材料与艺术和现实世界的项目联系起来。来自计算机科学和艺术学科的大学水平的数字媒体教师正在举办研讨会，以完善和传播这些材料。

Computer Science (31)This collaborative project between a liberal arts university and a performingarts conservatory is developing curricular materials illustrating thescience and mathematics of digital sound using examples drawn from theater,film, and music. It is engaging students' interest in science by enablingthem to explore connections between art and digital media by creating atextbook supplemented with interactive on-line tutorials, worksheets, MATLABexercises, programming exercises, and application-based projects. The projectis creating modules that move from higher to lower levels of abstraction andfrom concept to practice. It is making the curricular material accessible tostudents of different backgrounds and teachers of a variety of courses incomputer science and production aspects of the performing arts. Thesematerials are being assessed through direct observation and questionnaires todetermine how students move between concept and practice and find better waysto link the conceptual textbook material with art- and real-world projects.Workshops are being held for college-level teachers of digital media fromcomputer science and art disciplines to refine and disseminate the curricularmaterial.
