== VL+UE Communication Acoustics
Communcation acoustics consists of all areas of acoustic that deal with the communication between systems, humans or communication between a systems and humans. These are for example: auditory and speech acoustics, electroacoustics, audio technolgy, the simulation of acoustic environments, as well as all signal processing approaches that are used within these areas. Depending on the focus area of communication acoustics the lectures are part of different faculties, e.g., electrical engineering, physics and computer sience. The MOOC brings together leading scientists in the area of acoustics to create an overview on this versatile topic.
