Musical, architectural and medical acoustics and environmental noise control. Acoustics is the most accessible physical science and many observed phenomena can be understood without recourse to advanced mathematics. It provides an excellent example of the formulation of a physical theory, the derivation of the field equations, the solution of problems, experiment and measurement, and applications in the real world. Acoustics has the additional advantage that the distances and times involved are easily comprenended (inches and seconds, not nanometers or picoseconds) and that, in many instances we, ourselves, are the measuring instruments. The subjective, sometimes ambiguous, realm of psychoacoustics contrasts with the objective, unambiguous realm of physical acoustics. This, and the fact that acoustics is inherently an interdisciplinary subject with musical, architectural, biomedical and environmental aspects, make this course a good meeting place for majors and nonmajors. 001 TBA TBA TBA Carroll, Michael *CURRENT ENR: 0 ENGI 321 THE PROFESSIONAL ENGINEER: ROLES AND RES Credits 3.00 Spring 2000 An examination of the Engineer at work in society through a case study investigation of the processes by which tasks are accomplished and the roles and corresponding responsibilities assumed by Engineers in assuring the effectiveness of their efforts.
