Objetivos

The Curricular Unit of Noise Pollution is a specific subject in the field of engineering sciences. Learning the underlying physical methods and concepts aims to develop in students fundamental skills that allow them to understand the sound phenomena (including mechanical vibrations) responsible for sound emissions. On the other hand, also understand the main techniques of recording and sound analysis in order to quantify and control environmental and industrial noise.

Resultados de aprendizagem e competências

The student, at the end of the study in this Curricular Unit, should be able to:
1. Understand/explain the basic concepts of mechanical vibrations;
2. Interpret mechanical systems in free motion and forced motion;
3. Know how to perform isolation from mechanical vibrations;
4. Understand/explain the phenomenon of sound;
5. Know and describe the characteristic magnitudes of a sound;
6. Know and describe the human auditory system;
7. Analyze the sound using measuring equipment (sound meter);
8. Propose solutions to reduce noise;
9. Perform laboratory practices to consolidate and complement the theoretical knowledge taught in the Curricular Unit.

Métodos de ensino e atividades de aprendizagem

In the scope of theoretical-practical classes, the teaching methodology used is based on the application of learning techniques aimed at greater involvement and autonomy of students in the construction of their knowledge. Laboratory classes are planned where the student will have the opportunity to carry out the programmed laboratory work.

1- The continuous assessment regime
Students who intend to attend the UC under continuous assessment are required to carry out all assessments of the two components:

- Theoretical-practical component (Tp) is evaluated by two tests (T1 and T2) given by:

Tp = 0.5xT1 + 0.5xT2

Restrictions: To take advantage of the Tp component it is necessary that T1 and T2 >= 8.0

- Laboratory component (L) with mandatory completion of two laboratory assignments. The evaluation of the laboratories is composed by the performance in class and the two reports presented referring to the work carried out, one in the area of vibration (L1) and the other on noise (L2). This component is given by the equation:

L = 0.5xL1 + 0.5xL2

Note: If you do not perform one of the laboratories, you will have a classification of 0 (zero) values in this work.

2- Assessment regime by exams with mandatory laboratory work
Students who choose the assessment system by exams will take a written test called Exam (Ex) where all the material corresponding to the Tp component will be evaluated. Examination tests are carried out at scheduled times at School level.
To be successful in the Ex test it is necessary to have a classification >= 8.0

Note: For any evaluation moment (tests or face-to-face exam), a student may be called to take an oral test, to be arranged, to confirm the knowledge revealed in the summative assessments. The classification of the oral test replaces the classification of the assessment moment in question. If the student does not attend the oral test, without due justification, the assessment in question will be cancelled.

Fórmula de cálculo da classificação final

Final Grade (FG) under continuous assessment of the UC is given by:

FG = 60% Tp + 40% L

FG - Final Grade
Tp - Component of Theoretical-Practical Assessment
L - Laboratory Component

Final Grade (FG) in assessment by exams will be the classification obtained at the time of the exam (Ex) and that obtained in the Laboratory component (L) being given by:

FG = 60% Ex + 40% L

FG - Final Grade
Ex - Exam
L - Laboratory Component

To obtain approval in the UC, the Final Grade (FG) must be >= 10 values after rounding up to whole value.

If the student has a Final Grade score >= 16, he/she must perform an oral presentation to assign the UC Final Grade. If you do not intend to do it, the Final Grade score will be 15.

Avaliação especial (TE, DA, ...)

In order to comply with the regulation in 'No. 6 Other Exemptions and Benefits' of the 'Student-Worker Statute Regulation', students covered by this regulation must inform the teacher till the end of the second week of lessons of their situation in order to evaluate their implications for UC assessments. Requests received after the second week of classes will not be accepted.
