COURSE CURRICULUM

The Bachelor of Science in Audio Engineering Technology curriculum is structured over four years to develop a strong balance of musical knowledge, engineering fundamentals, and practical audio skills. In the first year, students build a solid academic foundation by studying subjects like college composition, precalculus, chemistry, and physics. At the same time, introductory courses in music for audio engineering technology help students understand the basics of sound, music theory, and their application in engineering. Communication skills are also emphasized through technical writing, preparing students for professional environments.In the second year, the program begins to focus more on core audio and engineering concepts. Students take courses such as audio principles, computer-aided analysis, and electrical circuits, which introduce them to how audio systems function and are analyzed. Physics continues to play an important role, deepening their understanding of sound and energy. Electives in social sciences and liberal arts provide a broader educational perspective, while engineering economics introduces decision-making skills related to technical projects.The third year advances students’ expertise with more complex topics. Courses like advanced audio principles, electronics, engineering mechanics, and Six Sigma develop both technical proficiency and problem-solving abilities. Students also learn about project management and professional development, which are essential for working in team-based engineering environments. This stage focuses on integrating knowledge from earlier years and applying it to more challenging scenarios.In the fourth year, students specialize in advanced topics such as audio acoustics, system integration, embedded processors, and instrumentation. They gain deeper insight into modern audio technologies and industry standards. The program culminates in senior projects and seminars, where students apply their learning to real-world applications and innovative solutions. Overall, the curriculum ensures graduates are well-prepared for careers in audio engineering and related industries.
