AIMS
The students are expected to analyse and solve a range of practical engineering problems associated with acoustics. Examples include modelling of noise sources from jets, fans, wind turbines, vacuum cleaners, etc. and exploring ways to reduce noise either at the source or through acoustic damping. Upon completion of this module, the students would be well placed to pursue research in the area of acoustics and related fields. Students would also be more employable (the topics covered in the course is of interest to GE, Rolls-Royce, Dyson, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, automobile companies and acoustic consultancies)
