Music Engineering students are expected to demonstrate expertise in three principal areas: music, music engineering, and hardware or software engineering. Music skills are gained in courses such as music theory, arranging, music history and literature, and instrumental or voice study. Studio classes emphasize audio theory, digital audio, acoustics and studio design, microphone and mixing technique, sound synthesis, and video production. Courses in electrical engineering might include computer programming, circuit theory, electronics, digital design, logic design, and microprocessors. Courses in computer science might include computer programming (C and UNIX), algorithm analysis, and software engineering.

The
Music Engineering Technology program is designed for students who desire
a career in music recording, film and video production, audio equipment
and software design, sound reinforcement, broadcasting, or studio design
and installation. Students completing the undergraduate program earn
a Bachelor of Music degree. They can choose a minor in electrical engineering
(hardware study), or can double major in music engineering and computer
science (software study). Both curricula tracks are completed in four
years. Combining the study of music with technology ensures that graduates
are proficient audio engineers as well as accomplished musicians.
