Abstract

Audio engineering programs are being created and expanded at 4-year universities across the United States. The purpose of this online study was to create a ranking of essential core competencies and technologies required by AET (audio engineering technology) programs 10 years in the future (2019). A panel of 52 audio experts and industry leaders were selected as a purposive sample and an online, modified Delphi methodology was employed. The 3-round process produced 160 competencies that can be used by administrators to construct future curriculum and technologies needed for their programs.

Keywords: audio engineering competencies, sound recording curriculum, audio engineering program, music recording, sound technology
