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 from different companies to tell you on their practical projects and special measurements.

    The lectures are in room Karjalainen (A-Grid, E208b) on Wednesdays 14-16 and Thursdays 16-18.
