    The Role of Architectural Acoustics Course on Interior Architecture Students' Perception of Sound and Acoustics
    (European Acoustics Association, EAA, 2023) Coutinho Kitapci, A.L.; Dokmeci Yorukoglu, P.N.
    This study concentrates on investigating the impact of the 3rd-year compulsory course, 'Architectural Acoustics' offered at Çankaya University, Department of Interior Architecture, on the students' understanding of sound and acoustics. Recent studies show that there is a lack of specialized courses on acoustics and in some cases, students are introduced to acoustics only if they choose to enroll in elective courses. The knowledge of acoustics is essential in architectural education as sound is a crucial design element that directly affects spatial experience and user comfort. Students in the fields of built environment and design should be aware of acoustical concepts and gain basic acoustical knowledge throughout their undergraduate education. In this study, the pre-test/post-test method is used and applied as separate surveys to gather data from the students on; (1) noise sensitivity, (2) the importance of acoustical concepts in varying building types, and (3) familiarity with acoustical terminology. Survey results lead to detailed identifications regarding the impact of the course content on students' evaluations. Results of the statistical analysis are reported to show the topic-specific changes in the acoustical awareness levels of the students enrolled in the course. © 2023 First author et al.
