Objectives
To require students to apply their combined skills and knowledge gained in both Music and Engineering based modules towards the design and practical realisation of a creative project involving the application of hardware and/or software to a music or multimedia application.Learning outcomes
On completion of this module, students should be able to:
- apply knowledge and understanding of: appropriate mathematical methods; science appropriate to electronic Engineering and Music;
- apply relevant principles of IT and Communications to design; research and development and/or operational practices;
- select and apply appropriate analytical and computer-based methods to modelling and analysing problems and to the development of solutions to practical problems;
- demonstrate skill in the use of appropriate test and measurement equipment, music and engineering tools (IT or others), leading to the design and practical testing of a system, component, creative work or process;
- demonstrate ability to critically evaluate results, manipulate, sort and present data in a variety of ways;
- communicate effectively and apply skills of time and resource management; teamwork and, in some cases, leadership.
Syllabus

Indicative areas of research include:
- physical modelling instruments;
- software and hardware design and implementation;
- music Visualisation;
- acoustics of Musical Instruments and Voice;
- audio Analysis, Resynthesis and Spatialization;
- audio Hardware and Signal Processing;
- auditory Displays;
- data Structures and Standards for Music Representation, Notation and Printing;
- composition systems, techniques and Tools;
