Study format:: Seminar
Duration:: 3 Days
Teaching:: After announcement/on request
Course fees:: 1,680 € incl. lunch, course documents & accompanying program, excl. accommodation / arrival & departure
Qualification:: RWTH Certificate of Attendance
Language:: Englisch

You will learn:

Comprehensive and holistic understanding of the entire vehicle system
Vehicle-specific acoustic effect mechanisms and remedies for existing problems
Practical transfer of knowledge with numerous application examples
Applying the learned knowledge in your own case study

Contents of the Training

In three days of attendance on the campus of RWTH Aachen University, you will gain a comprehensive understanding of automotive acoustics, which will be built up through expert lectures. It is deepened by illuminating the industry perspective and working on your own case study.
