Vehicle Noise Control Engineering Academy

• Define and articulate powertrain and other vehicle acoustics engineering terminologies and principles
• Identify different noise elements in electric vehicles from IC engine vehicles and the uniqueness of the EV propulsion system
• Discuss the importance of sound quality issues for EV and ICE propulsion units in developing a quality vehicle
• Articulate the differences in various numerical techniques that are used for simulation
• Formulate a systematic approach to problem solving and measurement
• Conduct appropriate performance verification tests
• Analyze the contributing vehicle noise sources when devising noise solutions
• Produce valid measurements with noise instrumentation and accurately interpret results
• Identify available acoustical materials and determine their optimum application
• Recognize new materials that are used in sound package applications

This academy will be especially valuable for engineers and technical staff who address powertrain and interior noises in the following types of vehicles: passenger cars and autonomous vehicles, light trucks, heavy trucks, school buses, off-highway vehicles, farm machinery, small planes, personal watercraft, and rail transit vehicles.
