Acoustic education and its exploration at NPU

School of Marine Engineering (SME), Northwestern Polytechnical University (NPU) offers two undergraduate degree programs bearing on the field of acoustics, including information countermeasure and environmental engineering, of which the former is focused on underwater acoustic signal and information processing and the latter on environmental acoustics and noise control. The SME also provides graduate degree programs involving Acoustics, Underwater Acoustic Engineering, Environmental Engineering and Environmental Science leading to a master's degree, among which the former two also possess competency of doctoral education. As a key subject, the education respect to acoustics has developed its own characteristics of teaching reform. The SME is actively involved in fostering the talent of engineering and internationalization among the students. On the one hand, the school is devoted to improve practical and experimental skills of the students. On the other hand, recent years, Acoustics program at the school ...
