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

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline.

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.
