The Bachelor of Science in Music Technology teaches students the fundamentals of musicianship and audio technology. Students learn to create new music with technology, develop new technologies for making music, and conduct scientific research that expands our knowledge of how both humans and machines engage with music. Student projects span areas such as robotic musicianship, music informatics, brain music, and computational and cognitive musicology. Bachelor of Science in Music Technology students will need to consult with the undergraduate advisor to choose a concentration or minor. The Mechanical Engineering Track allows students to develop in-depth mechanical engineering skills as applied to music technology. Mechanical engineering is directly related to music technology fields in the areas of robotic musicianship, acoustics, and instrument design. Students use their Breadth Block to take prescribed credit hours of coursework in the School of Mechanical Engineering focusing on one of the two options below:
