  • graduate study in Architectural Acoustics within the durham school at the university of nebraska lincoln
    Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2014
    Co-Authors: Lily M. Wang, Matthew G. Blevins, Zhao Peng, Hyun Jun Hong, Joonhee Lee
    Abstract:

    Persons interested in pursuing graduate study in Architectural Acoustics are encouraged to consider joining the Architectural Engineering Program within the Durham School of Architectural Engineering and Construction at the University of Nebraska—Lincoln (UNL). Among the 21 ABET-accredited Architectural Engineering (AE) programs across the United States, the Durham School’s program is one of the few that offers graduate engineering degree programs (MAE, MS, and PhD) and one of only two that offers an area of concentration in Architectural Acoustics. Acoustics students in the Durham School benefit both from the multidisciplinary environment in an AE program and from our particularly strong ties to the building industry, since three of the largest Architectural engineering companies in the United States are headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska. Descriptions will be given on the graduate-level Acoustics courses, newly renovated acoustic lab facilities, the research interests and achievements of our Acoustics faculty and students, and where our graduates are to date. Our group is also active in extracurricular activities, particularly through the University of Nebraska Acoustical Society of America Student Chapter. More information on the “Nebraska Acoustics Group” at the Durham School may be found online at http://nebraskaAcousticsgroup.org/.

  • Ideas for effectively teaching Architectural Acoustics to students of architecture.
    The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2010
    Co-Authors: Lily M. Wang
    Abstract:

    Because the process of designing and constructing buildings often has the architect in the role of project manager, it is crucial that architects be trained in the fundamentals of Architectural Acoustics. Students of architecture, though, are often not interested in that required course on Acoustics (if there is one), as their education tends to push them to be more visually inclined. This paper provides some ideas on how to effectively teach Architectural Acoustics to students of architecture, based on the author’s own experiences. In particular, (a) engaging the students to experience sound in rooms through a course‐long listening journal assignment, (b) pulling in case study examples, and (c) promoting a collaborative environment between architects and consulting engineers have seemed to be successful techniques. A brief review of the Robert Bradford Newman Student Award Fund, whose goal is to promote the study of Architectural Acoustics among those in the building industry, will also be provided.

  • Studying Architectural Acoustics through the University of Nebraska’s Architectural Engineering Program.
    2010
    Co-Authors: Lily M. Wang, Siu-kit Lau
    Abstract:

    Architectural engineering (AE) is a discipline of study that is only currently available at 17 schools across the United States, and even fewer of these AE programs include Acoustics as a main option in their curricula. This presentation will review the Nebraska Acoustics Group, housed within the AE Program at the University of Nebraska which began in 1998. Students may study Acoustics within any of our five engineering degree programs (BSAE, MAE, MEng, MS and Ph.D.). Currently there are two AE faculties out of 11 who focus in Acoustics at Nebraska, and the program regularly offers at least six recurring Acoustics courses. Descriptions of the Acoustics courses, the research interests of the Nebraska Acoustics Group, and where our graduates are to date will be given. Specifically highlighted will be the theme of our Acoustics group: to promote the advancement and science of Architectural Acoustics by closely tying our coursework and research to practice in the “real‐world.”

  • Preparing a submission to the Journal of the Acoustical Society of America on applied projects in Architectural Acoustics.
    2009
    Co-Authors: Lily M. Wang
    Abstract:

    The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America (JASA) encourages authors to submit articles for publication that are based on more applied projects, such as those commonly found in the technical area of Architectural Acoustics. However, very few of this type have been published in the recent past. Suggestions on how such articles should be prepared and how they may meet the 'significance' criterion will be given, from the viewpoint of a current JASA associate editor in Architectural Acoustics. Additionally a review of such articles that have been published in JASA within the past few decades will be provided.

    Abstract:

    The rapid pace of change in the fields of Architectural-, physical-, and psycho-Acoustics has constantly advanced the Graduate Program in Architectural Acoustics from its inception in 1998 with an ambitious mission of educating future experts and leaders in Architectural Acoustics. Recent years we have reshaped its pedagogy using “STEM” (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) methods, including intensive, integrative hands-on experimental components that fuse theory and practice in a collaborative environment. Our pedagogy enables graduate students from a broad range of fields to succeed in this rapidly changing field. The graduate program has attracted graduate students from a variety of disciplines including individuals with B.S., B.A., or B.Arch. degrees in Engineering, Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science, Electronic Media, Sound Recording, Music, Architecture, and related fields. RPI’s Graduate Program in Architectural Acoustics has since graduated more than 100 graduates with both M.S. and Ph.D. degrees. Along with faculty members they have also actively 0contributed to the program’s research in Architectural Acoustics, psychoaoustics, communication Acoustics, signal processing in Acoustics as well as our scientific exploration at the intersection of cutting edge research and traditional architecture/music culture. This paper shares the growth and evolution of the graduate program.

  • auditory and visual sensations yoichi ando s theory of Architectural Acoustics
    Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2010
    Co-Authors: Peter Cariani
    Abstract:

    Yoichi Ando is a well‐known Architectural acoustician who employed genetic algorithms, Acoustics, and psychophysical models of listener percepts and preferences to optimize the design of the Kirishima International Concert Hall in Japan. Ando’s recent book [Auditory and Visual Sensations, guest editor P. Cariani (Springer, New York, 2009)] summarizes decades of psychophysical experiments and neurophysiological observations (ABR, SVR, EEG, MEG). This paper will outline Ando’s psychophysics‐based approach to Architectural Acoustics and his correlation‐based theory of hearing and vision, along with supporting psychophysical and neurophysiological experimental observations. Ando proposes a temporally coded, correlation‐based model of neuronal signal processing in which features of an internal autocorrelation representation subserve “temporal sensations” (pitch, timbre, loudness, duration), while features of an internal interaural cross correlation representation subserve “spatial sensations” (sound location, ...
