Introduction to the Program
Consigue competencias avanzadas y de rigor para la medición del impacto sonoro a través de esta Postgraduate diploma 100% online”

La Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) estima que millones de personas padecen pérdida de audición debido a la exposición a ruido excesivo. Esa afección es latente sobre todo en trabajadores de áreas productivas como la constricción, la industria y el transporte. Las alarmas generadas por estas molestias han ocasionado que cada vez más empresas presten atención a la salud auditiva de sus empleados, desarrollando exhaustivos estudios de impacto sonoro. Al mismo tiempo, implementar esas mediciones requiere de una planificación y ejecución minuciosa donde se inserten de manera integral los instrumentos tecnológicos más avanzados del sector.
TECH Global University ha aglutinado las principales innovaciones de ese campo en esta Postgraduate diploma. Así, los ingenieros acústicos podrán actualizar sus conocimientos teóricos y competencias prácticas acerca del análisis espectral, bandas de frecuencia, entre otros aspectos. Al mismo tiempo, el temario describirá las últimas herramientas de medición del ruido, entre los que destacan sonómetros digitales de altísima precisión y dosímetros. En este itinerario académico también se abordarán la intensimetría y las fuentes de excitación acústica.
Por otra parte, el programa dedicará uno de sus módulos al dominio de los mecanismos de evaluación del aislamiento sonoro en edificios y otras construcciones. A su vez, profundizará en los ensayos necesarios para determinar la reverberación, medir la transmisión de la palabra hablada (STI) y del ruido interior al exterior. Todo ello, a través de numerosos materiales didácticos que aportarán dinamismo a este proceso de aprendizaje de 450 horas lectivas.
Asimismo, los contenidos de la titulación han sido elegidos por un claustro de excelencia, compuesto por ingenieros acústicos de amplia experiencia y resultados de prestigio a lo largo de su labor profesional. Esos materiales se integran de manera disruptiva en una plataforma de estudios 100% online que no está sujeta a horarios ni cronogramas evaluativos rígidos. Por el contrario, cada egresado podrá completar su capacitación en cualquier momento o lugar, las 24 horas del día, 7 días de la semana. En adición, un prestigioso Director Invitado Internacional brindará unas exhaustivas Masterclasses.
Un reconocido Director Invitado Internacional impartirá unas rigurosas Masterclasses para analizar las últimas tendencias en Medición Acústica”

Syllabus
This 100% online program delves into the basic principles of acoustics, from the nature of sound and noise to the measurement of their levels in decibels (dB). At the same time, another of its academic modules focuses on the measurement of pressure and intensity, as well as vibrations and the use of microphones. Finally, the syllabus delves into the planning and development of insulation tests, the evaluation of noise transmission and its control by means of limiters. All this with an academic itinerary that provides the most complete study platform, where explanatory videos, complementary readings and other multimedia resources are displayed.
Relearning and the case study method applied by TECH will allow you to consolidate skills quickly and flexibly"
