Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years, which means that in general, e.g. Learning outcomes, assessment methods and key content stays unchanged. However, via course syllabus, it is possible to specify or change the course execution in each realization of the course, such as how the contact sessions are organized, assessment methods weighted or materials used.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

The student understands fundamental acoustic concepts and can interpret the wave equation and its solution under different conditions. The student also understands the behavior of simple vibrational and acoustical systems and is able to apply analogies between the mechanical (acoustical) and electrical domains. The student can analyze the wave propagation and sound radiation of simple sound sources. The student can use multiphysics modeling software to solve certain acoustical problems.
