Committee on Education in Acoustics
The Committee on Education in Acoustics (EdCom) of the ASA is the home for all acousticians who participate in acoustics education: communicating the technical content of our science and its importance to others. EdCom is charged with exploring, proposing, and implementing activities for improving and promoting education in acoustics at all levels.

Acoustics Demonstrations for Middle and High Schoolers
This is a hands-on demonstration session for middle/high-school students. The demonstrations are led by members of the Society who introduce the students to physics and the exciting world of acoustics; for most of the students, this is the very first time that they have seen any acoustics at all.
This is one of the EdCom’s longest-running programs. Anyone interested in helping during this exciting session at an upcoming ASA meeting should contact the EdCom committee.

Technical Initiatives and Sessions
Recent technical sessions have covered distance education in acoustics, tools for teaching acoustics in undergraduate, and graduate level courses. The EdCom also co-sponsors sessions with other technical committees of the ASA such as thr Communicating the Science of Underwater Sound (co-sponsor: Animal Bioacoustics) and Demonstration of Physical Acoustics (co-sponsor: Physical Acoustics) sessions. To find out more about these sessions, attend the open EdCom committee meeting at biannual Meetings.
