Acoustic Engineer

Description

Studies and applies the science of sound and vibration in the design and development of technologies to solve acoustic related problems, such as sound quality, transmission of sound, noise control or environmental noise pollution.

Description

This unit group covers Engineering Professionals not elsewhere classified. It includes Acoustic Engineers, Aerospace Engineers, Biomedical Engineers, Engineering Technologists, Environmental Engineers, Fire Safety Engineers, Mechatronics Engineers and Naval Architects.

Tasks include

• Measures sound levels, reverberation and vibration within buildings and outdoor environments
• Analyses and performs tests on acoustic designs to enhance or control sound and vibration
• Models, predicts, measures and assesses the impact of noise on the environment and noise sensitive receptors, including wildlife
• Advises on materials and structures that can be used to minimise noise levels that could disrupt the local environment, and ensures those levels comply with local laws
• Designs noise and vibration attenuation solutions for environmental noise, building engineering services systems in buildings, transport infrastructure and industry
