School of Mechanical Engineering came together and founded the Georgia Tech Student Chapter of the ASA. Starting as a lecture series featuring local professors and industry professionals, the Georgia Tech student chapter has grown from a humble start to an organization with over fifty active members. In the last two years GT-ASA has con- tinued to expand its chapter activities. Regular annual events now include social gatherings, a student conference,
field trips, and an educational outreach program featuring acoustics-related demonstrations for K-12 schools in the local Atlanta area.
As part of its core mission to increase interest in acoustics, the chapter invites professors and industry experts to give talks on a wide range of topics, including wave propagation, speech signal processing, residential noise control, acoustic consulting, and commercialization
