CRATEL is pleased to offer TASD for the second time during
the Spring 2007 semester. After filling up long before the

start! When there is new info about the class, students, or

ECE 577J CRN: 24312
Meets: MW 11-12:15
Required open lab Friday afternoons
Technology: Art and Sound by Design
consists of lectures and labs, with a focus on artistic
philosophy and its application through technology. In the
course, students work collaboratively to explore the medium
of digital circuits within the artistic domain. Lectures
will include guests from artistic and technical disciplines
who will stimulate conversations about art, teach about
electronics, and challenge common assumptions regarding the
relationship between the two. Labs will give a practical,
friendly introduction to building circuits and working with
sensors, indicators, and actuators. Students registering
for the course are expected to have a solid background in
either the arts or electrical engineering, and are not
expected to be proficient at both. See the online syllabus and the class wiki for more information.
