ENGS 85.15 Acoustic Waves and Devices

This course introduces the physical principles, mathematical modeling, and device engineering applications of acoustic wave propagation. Topics include bulk and surface acoustic waves, piezoelectric transduction, impedance, resonance, and wave-material interactions. Students will explore how acoustic waves are used in devices for sensing, imaging, signal processing, and energy harvesting, with an emphasis on biomedical and microelectromechanical system (MEMS) applications.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
