00:00:00,180 --> 00:00:01,920
PROFESSOR: The two
main things that I

2
00:00:01,920 --> 00:00:04,950
want the students to
take away is, firstly,

3
00:00:04,950 --> 00:00:07,950
to be able to build speakers.

4
00:00:07,950 --> 00:00:10,350
If they see a design--

5
00:00:10,350 --> 00:00:12,950
you know, it's just like
basically a crossover schematic

6
00:00:12,950 --> 00:00:15,457
and cabinet plans--

7
00:00:15,457 --> 00:00:17,540
for them to be able to
find out what kind of parts

8
00:00:17,540 --> 00:00:20,264
need to buy and to know how
to put everything together.

9
00:00:20,264 --> 00:00:22,680
So that's sort of the direct
goal, and some of my students

10
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:25,080
could even actually
design their own speakers

11
00:00:25,080 --> 00:00:26,660
after leaving the class.

12
00:00:26,660 --> 00:00:29,100
But I guess the less, you
know-- what's probably

13
00:00:29,100 --> 00:00:34,680
more important is just to
get a general sense of what

14
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:37,050
engineering is like
and how, I guess,

15
00:00:37,050 --> 00:00:39,900
audio is sort of a blend
of engineering and art.

16
00:00:39,900 --> 00:00:42,370
And it combines
things like having

17
00:00:42,370 --> 00:00:46,170
to understand the math of how
all the electrical components

18
00:00:46,170 --> 00:00:54,750
work, but also see how their
own feelings and desires can

19
00:00:54,750 --> 00:00:58,550
be reflected in the way that
they design their speakers.
