This module concerns issues in human resource management and organisational design. These are what ultimately implement the firm’s strategy. Although many organisations recognise the importance of managing the work force effectively and even "know" what approaches are effective, it is remarkable how often firms and managers fail to implement these approaches. Consequently, this module has two central themes: (1) How to think systematically and strategically about aspects of managing the organisation’s human assets, and (2) What really needs to be done to implement these policies and to achieve competitive advantage through people. The intent of the module is both to impart knowledge as well as to stimulate discussion about the values and beliefs that stand in the way of implementing this knowledge.

Every effort to control noise and vibration is ultimately judged by people. A quieter road, a smoother train, a well designed building all succeed or fail according to how those who experience them respond, so the engineer must understand and anticipate that human reaction. This module examines how people respond to sound and vibration in their environment, and how those environmental stimuli are measured and assessed.

You will study the main effects of noise and vibration on people and learn to identify the variables that shape their responses, then combine those variables to make quantitative predictions of how a given environment will be judged. You will work with the standards and regulations that provide a framework for objective evaluation, understanding both how to apply them and why they take the form they do. You will also examine alternative approaches to assessment, developing the judgement to recognise when a particular case calls for a different method.

By the end of the module, you will be able to measure and assess environmental noise and vibration, predict human responses to them, and apply the relevant standards with a clear understanding of their basis and limitations. These skills are central to professional practice in noise and vibration control, environmental consultancy and regulation, and they equip you to design and evaluate solutions that work for the people who ultimately live with them.

This module provides an understanding of human responses to sound and vibration in the environment, and how such environmental stimuli are measured and assessed. People judge the success or failure of any efforts in noise and vibration control, so their responses should be understood and anticipated.

The module also shows:
- The main effects of noise and vibration on people.
- How to identify relevant variables and how they can be combined to make quantitative predictions of human responses to noise and vibrations.
- How to use standards and regulations that have been developed to provide a framework for the objective evaluation of noise and vibration.
- How to provide a basic understanding of alternative approaches to assessment that might be adopted in particular case.
