Acoustical engineers are problem solvers and opportunity makers involving sound in the natural or made world. Their focus may be concerned with limiting unwanted sound (noise) or improving and enhancing sound quality. Students interested in acoustical engineering are sometimes musicians, or have an interest in how sound impacts the environment around us.<br><br>Engineers from this concentration may work in industries such as: construction, defense, automotive, entertainment, technology, health and ecological or biological sciences.<br><br>Their work may include: designing acoustically efficient settings (music halls to the inside of a car) to designing ear buds, head phones, microphones, and hearing aids. They may be involved in consulting, or even work in the military or military contracting using acoustics to support our armed forces and naval defense systems.
