Implementation of Substandard Acoustics in Education Processes

Abstract

Currently, the area of environmental quality resonates in basically every study program. The environment in which we live, work and relax. The contribution deals with the implementation of non-standard areas in the education process. This is education in the field of physical factors, namely noise and its effects on humans. Noise is currently classified as one of the most complained-of and perceived by humans as being of a physical nature. The contribution submitted analyses the activity of musicians in musical production and, in particular, their noise load. Attention is also paid to the visualization of noise sources - musical instruments. It was a methodology proposed for implementing and evaluating the above-mentioned activities, which can also be used in the future for other types of music production where the noise load of musicians may be significantly higher. In the opinion of the authors, the teaching of acoustics in the Slovak Republic is insufficient. It is clear that it is not possible, nor is it currently appropriate, to prepare a narrowly specialized study program devoted solely to this subject. Rather, in the context of the new approach to the accreditation of study programs, efforts are being made in the SR to develop more broadly designed programs. For this reason, the Environmental Engineering Study Program was accredited at the Mechanical Engineering Faculty of the Technical University in Košice, which offers a relatively broad field of education in the areas of measurement, monitoring, objectification, prediction, design of measures, and technical solutions for products that burden the environment with various impacts.
