| The Audio Engineering Society (AES), is the only
professional society devoted exclusively to audio technology. Its membership of leading
engineers, scientists and other authorities has increased dramatically throughout the
world, greatly boosting the society's stature and that of its members in a truly symbiotic
relationship. The AES serves its members, the industry and the public by stimulating and
facilitating advances in the constantly changing field of audio. It encourages and
disseminates new developments through annual technical meetings and exhibitions of
professional equipment, and through the Journal of the Audio Engineering Society, the
professional archival publication in the audio industry. The Society also encourages
student membership and offers many resources and awards for
students pursuing the profession of audio engineering and related fields.
The Audio Engineering Society student chapter at the University of Miami is open to all university students who share an interest in music technology and the recording industry. Our primary goal is to provide members with an opportunity to learn directly from audio industry professionals and serve as an educational resource to the University of Miami community. Our chapter primarily consists of graduate and undergraduate students from the Music Engineering Technology and Electrical Engineering programs, as well as professionals from across South Florida. The chapter holds regular meetings and hosts speakers who share their experiences and achievements in the field. In addition, members attend the annual AES convention where we hold the MUE party and participate in the educational fair. The Music Engineering program at the University of Miami began in the late 1970's and has grown to be the most highly rated of its type in the country. It currently includes more than one hundred graduate and undergraduate students from several countries. The program is part of the Frost School of Music and includes a minor in Electrical Engineering or Computer Science. A closely related program, Electrical Engineering with Audio Emphasis, has been developed by the College of Engineering; each curriculum provides the student with hands-on experience and knowledge of the latest developments in audio technology. The faculty advisor for the University of Miami AES chapter is Ken Pohlmann. Pohlmann is the director of the Music Engineering program. |
