Students generate a spectrum using Audacity and compare the location of thepeaks to the desired fundamental frequency. This helps them complete the design cycle byanalyzing the performance of the prototype.Their design prototypes are assessed based on a set of criteria: ability of each instrument toproduce multiple tones; overall quality of the track (a different weighting factor is used for eachsong based on its level of difficulty); tone quality produced by instruments (based on maximumpercent deviation from theoretical fundamental frequencies for high/low notes for eachinstrument); creativity and innovation; cost

Engineers acknowledge limitations in engineering understandings about the world and try to redress inequalities by privileging and partnering with silenced voices. In keeping with this principle, engineers acknowledge the imperfection and incompleteness of these canons and strive to improve the profession’s values, principles, and standards through inviting open feedback from others. ● Value: Dignity and Worth of the Person ● Ethical Principle: Engineers respect the inherent dignity and worth of the person.
