WU TEC 101: Introduction to Audio

This course is equivalent to VMG 101. This course introduces the principles of sound recording and sound design using analog and digital technologies. The course’s aim is to provide the students with the skills necessary to set up and use current equipment and manipulate sound in order to maximize communication. Particular emphasis is placed on using and understanding the concepts of digital sound systems. Also examined are the use of sound design as a communicative medium and the relationship of sound to visuals to create in the student an ”auditory awareness.” Sound characteristics, acoustics, ergonomics, and basic audio technology professional practices will be introduced.

Upon “successful” completion of this course, students will earn 3 college credits + 1 high school AP-weighted credit. This Wilmington University course is offered both Face-to-Face at New Castle Campus and Online.

Transfer of College credit after attending through Early College Programs

Students who subsequently enroll in Dual Enrollment or Early College courses enjoy advanced standing. Many colleges and universities will generally accept credits earned through programs of this type. Some will not. Most colleges and universities will accept credits from other institutions if a grade of “C” or better is earned. The student and/or their parents/guardian should contact the college or university of their choice to determine whether Dual Enrollment or Early College credits will be accepted. Students may have to send an official transcript from the partnering higher education institution to the college or university of their choice to aid in the college’s decision. Each institution applies these credits differently.
