Prerequisites
Basic knowledges of mathematical analysis and physics

Learning outcomes
KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING:
This course aims at giving students the basic knowledge of Applied Acoustic and Lighting. This knowledge, by integrating the knowledge gained in the Analysis and Physical teachings, will allow to enrich the knowledge in the field of acoustics and lighting. the study allows the student to learn and use systems and technologies for design, lighting design and noise control.
CAPACITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING:
In order to apply the basic concepts for a basic engineering education in industrial learned during the study, the student must know how to perform acoustic and lighting calculations in order to dimension a lighting system, choose the most suitable equipment according to the lighting requirements and energy saving, evaluate the acoustic characteristics of an environment, dimension an acoustic barrier. The student will be able to receive a lot of technical notions, such as: 1. basic knowledge of applied acoustics and lighting; 2. ability to conduct analysis of acoustic data from measurements; 3. ability to select the most appropriate lighting system according to the different destination of an environment.
TRANSVERSAL SKILLS:
The ability to solve numerical problems will help improve the degree of independence of judgment in general, both the communication skills that comes from knowing of its powers, is the ability to learn independently and to draw the student's conclusions.
