The module Advanced Psycho Acoustics with the examination number 210516 concludes with the following achievements:

• Examination with a weighting of 30% (Examination number: 2100987)
• Written Examination (90 minutes) with a weighting of 70% (Examination number: 2100988)

Details for part 1 (2100987):

Oral scientific presentation/report as a result of group work. The group work is done during the practical part (project work) of the lecture. This examination part is only offered in the summer semester.

The requirement for the lecture series Advanced Psychoacoustics is a basic understanding of scientific work. This includes the autonomous inquiry of relevant research literature (books, papers, etc.), the preparation of scientific reports, and active participation on the measurements, tests, and further project work. Furthermore, a basic knowledge in (electro-)acoustics, (audio-)signal processing, mathematics, and statistics are necessary to understand and solve the proposed topics.

a list of basic literature is available in the "self-study"-section of the Moodle-course

https://moodle2.tu-ilmenau.de/course/view.php?id=1371

After completion of the course, students can name current subject-specific research topics and can present these topics in a scientific way using oral presentations and writing a scientific paper. They are able to interpret the effects of a research project on future technology development.

After attending the project seminar, the students are able to predict trends in the area of the  research project. After completing the research project, they are able to independently formulate new research tasks. They can contribute with support to the development of knowledge in one or more areas of the discipline. They have the ability to act appropriately according to the situation in relationships with others and can work closely with the supervising professor and his staff.

After the project is completed, they will be able to take on responsibility in a team.

Essential Lecture Content. Specific topics are dealt with in the project part. These are either similar to and/or complement the lecture content. The content of the project part is semester-specific and results from ongoing research projects.
