Ever wondered if there was a way to study music AND have a well-paying, highly regarded job at the end of college? Become an engineer! Here at Penn State, there are so many opportunities to be an engineer and a musician all in one degree.
By having a strong music background, you open so many doors
in the job-market. You could make
speakers and microphones, test guitars, design a music hall, or even work on
the acoustics of cars, airplanes, and rockets. Musicians are needed in ALL engineering majors and the best
part is, you can use your creativity to make something spectacular.
At Penn State, there are a variety of options to study music
and engineering at the same time.
EE 210 is a sophomore level class aimed circuits class that
almost all engineering majors can take.
In the lab, you design and build your own speaker that you can keep in
your dorm or apartment.
As a mechanical engineer, architectural engineer, or civil
engineer, or bioengineer, you can take classes on acoustics and learn about how
sound travels. This knowledge can
then be applied to almost any industry, and you can take your love for music
anywhere.
Electrical Engineering offers a “Music Technology” minor
through the School of Music.
Students take music classes and electrical engineering classes to
understand the science and art behind many instruments and audio devices. The best part is, this minor can be
completed within the 4 years of undergraduate classes.
The EE department also offers a Senior Design Lab that
focuses on Music. I knew a student
last year that built his own electric guitar—how cool is that!?
Come to Penn State and make some music with us!
