Course Objectives	Recognition of the formation, characterization and propagation of sound, and acoustic control of the interior and the exterior, taking advantage of the properties of acoustic physics and sound physics. Examining the precautions that can be taken with technical knowledge of architectural acoustic design.
Course Learning Outcomes	The students who succeeded in this course; Recognizes the properties of sound and acoustic physics. They learn the physical properties necessary for acoustic control in design. Sound insulation materials, drinkable acoustic control materials and measuring devices are known.
Course Content	Building acoustics, interior acoustics and noise control; the usage of acoustics materials; the integration of principles of acoustics with the design principles.
