Digital Signal Technology in Music

我们将开发课程和相关的多媒体课程软件，在“音乐中的数字信号技术”的背景下，向包括工程和科学、音乐、社会科学和人文学科的学生在内的不同群体介绍数字信号、通信和信号处理技术。研究人员将联合开发两门课程，一门由电气工程系提供，另一门由罗切斯特大学伊士曼音乐学院提供。这些课程旨在吸引和留住学生学习工程，并向其他非技术学生介绍数字信号和系统的重要和广泛的技术。这两门课程将共享一个共同的核心课程，包括大约75%的课程讲座材料，两门课程都将高度依赖于学生的实验室和工作室经验。这两门课程的不同之处在于，工程课程的实验室是为学生在基础水平上操作和探索技术而设计的，而音乐课程的实践方面将面向利用讲座中讨论的技术的项目。该项目的另一项主要活动是开发互动式多媒体课件，以供不同层次的学生（从高中到高级工程本科学生）有效地使用，并将通过计算机网络分发给有关人士。

We will develop course curricula and associated multimedia course software that will introduce a diverse group of students, including students of engineering and science, music, social sciences, and the humanities to the technology of digital signals, communications and signal processing in the context of "Digital Signal Technology in Music". There will be two courses developed jointly by the Investigators, one to be offered within the Electrical Engineering Department and the other by the Eastman School of Music of the University of Rochester. The courses are intended to attract and retain students to the study of engineering and to introduce other non-technical students to the important and widespread technology of digital signals and systems. The two courses will share a common core curriculum encompassing about 75% of the course lecture material and both courses will rely heavily on laboratory and studio experiences for the students. The difference between the two courses will be that the laboratory of the engineering course will be designed for the students to manipulate and explore the technology at a fundamental level, while the practical aspect of the music course will be oriented toward projects utilizing the technology discussed in the lectures. The other major activity in this project is the development of interactive multimedia courseware that will be designed to productively be used by students at many levels - from high school to advanced undergraduate engineering students and it will be distributed via computer network to interested parties.
