Learning Outcomes

The objectives of this curricular unit are the acquisition of technical skills that allow students to solve problems related to vibrations that result in organ damage or discomfort for vehicle occupants.

OB1 - Translation through a mathematical model of a real vibration problem;

OB2 - Determine the solutions to the problem;

OB3 - Operationalize actions to contain vibrations;

OB4 - Validation of the solution found;
