Course Objective

This course is mainly devoted to the basic principles of acoustics and propagation of sound in air. In the course, one can find mathematical derivations of sound wave theory, its transmission, reflection and scattering effects. Experimental
determinations of acoustic characteristics for a noisy machine such as its sound power, or a special room such as its reverberation time are also of concerns for this course.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   To find out basic principles of sound and its propagation in a medium
2   To acquire skills to make mathematical derivations for wave theory of sound and its effects
3   To find out sound source types both in machinery and aero-acoustics
4   To have considerable knowledge to make noise control for a system
5   To become skilful at making experiments for machineries and special environments to determine their acoustical characteristics
6   To improve skill on making research and presentations on a subject
