This postgraduate course addresses the problem of noise pollution (traffic noise, industrial noise, noise and vibration activities) and study its characterization, measurement, control, legislation and design solutions. During practices on real cases develop from field measurements, simulations or acoustic modeling and laboratory measurements. As in the rest of MAAM courses, students get to have a solid foundation on the subject treated controlled thanks to teachers and group work tracking.

This postgraduate course is aimed at those who:

Acoustic comfort comes to the fore in the field of laws and regulations, embodied in the environmental control system and building, as well as in terms of sound quality referred to interior design of spaces. The module Room acoustics delves into the different fields from a scientific, technical and professional standpoint. The module sound insulation and noise control module complete room acoustics, providing the tools necessary to perform a complete project of architectural acoustics tools.

This postgraduate course is aimed at anyone interested in learning the basis of sound insulation, to develop projects, identify problems, correct pathologies and measurements of in situ verification. To all those who want to know the laws governing the behavior of sound within an architectural space. To design the appropriate acoustical treatment to each specification, solve problems arising from poor design, learn to choose the right materials and know how to measure the acoustic quality of a room....

Sound and music computing is an interdisciplinary field encompassing the entire sound communication process, from the creation and generation of sounds to their transmission and perception.

Using a variety of scientific, technological and artistic methodologies and computational approaches, it examines how we understand, model and generate sound and music. It covers a wide range of basic academic subjects in fields such as music (composition, performance, musicology), physics (acoustics), engineering (signal processing, artificial intelligence, human-computer interaction, electronics) and psychology (psychoacoustics, experimental psychology, neuroscience). Current areas of application include musical instruments, music production, music information retrieval, digital music libraries, interactive multimedia systems, and auditory interfaces. The UPF's master's program in Sound and Music Computing focuses on the more technical aspects of the field.... [-]

The Master in Mechanics of Materials and Structures is aimed at students who wish to develop their knowledge and skills in the field of the mechanical behaviour of materials and structures. Its objective is to link the current knowledge of theories of the behaviour of materials with the most innovative techniques in structural engineering. The proposed syllabus places special emphasis on computational techniques, materials mechanics, advanced structural design and experimental techniques. The master provides students with the skills to understand the aims of the disciplines involved and with the capacity to design solutions to advanced problems in this field.

Mechatronics is a discipline that unites mechanics, electronics, robotics, industrial automation and computer science. Among other utilities, it serves to maintain, optimize and design machines that involve automatic control systems, and for the design of products and / or intelligent processes (energy molding, hybrid systems, etc.).

The Master in Mechatronics will help you to contribute more effectively in the current productive processes of the industry in general, and that demand greater flexibility, speed and integration. Due to the high number of industrial specialties that it brings together, its strong point is the versatility it provides to the technician who dominates it.
