The student will be able :
1. To explain the basic concepts related to the perception and propagation of sound.
2. To state the principles of acoustic correction and to apply them to simple theoretical problems.
3. To describe the acoustic principles of rooms according to their uses and dimensions and to apply them.
4. To calculate sound insulation levels for airborne noise from homogeneous continuous, discontinuous, double homogeneous walls and qualitatively compare several walls.
5. To evaluate the standard insulation of adjacent premises to the emission of airborne noise.

Assessment methods and criteria

Attention, the success of the modular teaching unit is only guaranteed if each of the teaching subunits is successful.
In all other cases, the jury will be sovereign. If a teaching subunit fails, the modular unit is failed without calculating the average.
If each subunit of instruction is successful, the average of the unit of instruction will be based on a weighting respecting the hourly volume of each subunit.
The grade of each successful subunit of teaching will be reported from one session to another within the same academic year

Assessment subjects

Comfort 3A

The topics relating to the evaluation corresponds to the topics seen in the course in Q1.

Assessment methods

Comfort 3A

A report (Individual work) must be submitted no later than the day of the exam.
It must be uploaded in pdf on the e-campus platform.
The work will mainly consist in the application of the concepts and calculations seen during the course on a space well known to the student. Everything will be specified in the pdf on e-campus.
The outline to follow for the realization of the report will be downloadable on e-campus.
There will therefore be no live remote oral or written assessment for this course.
