STEM Career: Audio Engineer
Audio engineers shape and control sound—for musical and other recordings, amplifications, movies, live theater productions, and in concerts. Their focus is the technical aspect of sound: applying the appropriate mix, creating reproductions, and assuring that sound is communicated effectively and with high quality.
Tools of the Trade
Audio mixers, amplifiers, subwoofers, recorders
Education Required
Associate’s or bachelor’s degree in recording arts, audio technology, or music production is generally required.
