Learning outcomes of the course unit

Students will gain basic knowledge on noise and its effect on human body and calculation of noise characteristics and noise level.

Prerequisites

Basic knowledge of mathematics, differential and integral calculus, ordinary and partial differential equations. Basics of physics and mechanics, acoustics recomended but not limited condition.

Co-requisites

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in the article 7 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

Participation in lectures is obligatory. Awarding a graded course-unit credit is conditioned by the attendance at lectures, at least 10 of 13. The graded course unit credit is given on the basis of the test of 6 questions.
