Abstract
This study analyzes the integration of architectural and environmental acoustics in the architectural curriculum in Algeria. The research evaluates the content, teaching hours, and practical application of acoustics education and compares it with similar programs at Middle East Technical University and Bilkent University in Turkey. In contrast to Turkish programs, which integrate a broader range of topics such as room acoustics, environmental noise control, soundscapes, and the use of simulation tools with a strong emphasis on hands-on projects and real-world applications, the paper highlights significant gaps in the Algerian curriculum, including the absence of practical training and essential advanced topics in acoustics. Based on the comparison, the study proposes a strategic agenda to enhance acoustics education in Algeria, aligning it with international standards and equipping students with the skills needed to address modern acoustical challenges in architectural design.
期刊介绍：
Since 1929 The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America has been the leading source of theoretical and experimental research results in the broad interdisciplinary study of sound. Subject coverage includes: linear and nonlinear acoustics; aeroacoustics, underwater sound and acoustical oceanography; ultrasonics and quantum acoustics; architectural and structural acoustics and vibration; speech, music and noise; psychology and physiology of hearing; engineering acoustics, transduction; bioacoustics, animal bioacoustics.
