Teaching Activities

ME 5734 Advanced Engineering Acoustics

The fundamental principles underlying the generation, transmission, and reception of acoustics waves will be presented. Methods for analytically investigating various acoustical situations encountered in practice will be developed. The application of these methods to typical engineering acoustical problems with physical interpretation of the results will be studied. Pre: 4724. (3H,3C). II.
