Workshop
Engineering Integrity Society
International Manufacturing Centre
University of Warwick
Thursday, 14 December 2006
This one-day workshop brings together product designers and engineers, solution providers and academics, concerned with the human perception of product sound and vibration. The event intends to provide a practical insight into the evaluation of products where sound and vibration are important. Speakers are drawn from the automotive and other sectors. Practical workshop sessions will include demonstrations of the University’s state-of-the-art facilities, including the whole vehicle sound & vibration simulator (NoViSim), and a Listening Room.
