    Abstract

    This is a case study of curriculum development for technical listening training. Technical listening training is a systematic education program designed to allow prospective acoustic engineers and sound designers to enhance their auditory sensitivity. University based authors established a training strategy in an acoustics related company; Yamaha Corporation. We re-organized existing, and developed new, curriculum for a training suite for company employees. Discrimination, level difference identification and frequency identification training were classified as 'beginners training'. Identification of reverberation time and some application specific training were classified for 'expert training'. The company successfully conducted 9 days of training for freshman engineers. Trainee learning curves shows auditory sensitivity was improved.
