Room II-006

Acoustics Laboratory

Coordinator:

David Brown, Professor

Size:

27' x 34'

Description:

The room is partitioned to allow for two-student offices and study areas.

The function of this laboratory space is to provide a secure, simulated, real world environment for conducting successful graduate projects and demonstrations. This laboratory space is also used to support Senior Design Projects that Prof. David Brown advises and supports.

Under the supervision of Prof. David Brown, this laboratory supports the graduate courses Principles of Project Engineering (ECE 592), Fundamentals of Acoustics (ECE 557), Underwater Acoustics (ECE 597), and Transduction (ECE 699), and the undergraduate Senior Design Project course (ECE 458).

Courses:

• ECE 592 - Principles of Project Engineering
• ECE 557 - Fundamentals of Acoustics
• ECE 597 - Underwater Acoustics I
