Assigned Department Objectives

Teaching Method

Outline:
Noise and vibration from machinery are substantially affecting our daily living, such as factory noise and traffic noise. This course will be held in a lecture style, and taught by an instructor who was engaged in the development of machinery noise and vibration-related products using his experience. It will deal with measurement and countermeasures for the conservation of the living environment due to machine noise and vibration.
Style:
Classes will involve lectures on the basics and exercises as appropriate. Liaison: Kanji Kunimine
Notice:
Environmental problems are inevitable in today's society. Attend this course with the awareness to acquire basic knowledge of measurement and countermeasures for the conservation of the living environment by noise and vibration of machinery.
Students who miss 1/3 or more of classes will not be eligible for evaluation.
