Topic outline

  • General

    This course will cover the most common acoustical measurements in theory and in practice. The lectures are given by Prof. Tapio Lokki, but there will be also many visiting lectures to tell you on their practical projects and special measurements.

    The lectures are online in Zoom on Wednesdays 14-16 and Thursdays 16-18. 

    Zoom link can be found below (visible only to students enrolled to this course).
