  • creatively use technologies to produce sound for film, radio, television, music, electronic products and computer games.
  • a scientist or professional engineer who designs, develops and builds new audio technologies working within the field of acoustical engineering.

What’s the problem?

  • Ask –
  • Imagine –
  • Design, Build –
  • Improve –

That’s engineering

Challenges for you to work on…

  • String Thing? – Make your own music! Customize a virtual string instrument to play a song you write. Choose from three different instrument sounds. Then add a funky beat and play it back.
  • Make one of these flutes – B-Flat Fife (Revolutionary War-Style) – Normally made of wood, but other materials (PVC pipe) may also be used for the fun of it. Dimensions based on Cooperman recreation, or G Flute from PVC Plumbing
