PH4409 Engineering Acoustics Capstone Project.

(Same as EO4409) The capstone project provides DL students with an opportunity to apply the principles and techniques covered in the coursework to a current problem of interest. Students will formulate a novel research question, conduct a literature review, analyze the problem using theory, experiment, and/or simulations, draw conclusions, and effectively communicate the results. This course satisfies the capstone requirement for students pursuing the non-thesis degree option. Students pursuing the thesis degree option are encouraged to use their work in this course towards their thesis.

Course Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion of this course, a student will be able to:

• Quantify measurement errors and uncertainties;
• Apply the principles and techniques covered in the coursework to a current problem of practical and/or academic interest;
• Conduct a review of scientific literature on a specific topic in engineering or underwater acoustics;
• Formulate a novel research question;
• Critically analyze relevant published work, measurement techniques, and mathematical models of acoustic phenomena;
• Aalyze a selected problem using theory, experiment, and/or numerical simulations;
• Present results of their research in written and lecture formats.
