AI Thread Summary
Studying acoustics offers various career opportunities that can integrate electrical engineering skills. Key areas of work include the development of sound systems in phones, computers, and vehicles, where acoustics plays a crucial role in enhancing audio quality and noise cancellation. Applications also extend to multi-channel sound systems and advanced technologies like beam-steering for microphone arrays, which optimize sound capture and minimize unwanted noise. Additionally, the modeling of musical instruments for software recreation is a significant field. Resources such as the Acoustical Society of America and the Audio Engineering Society provide valuable insights and research articles, primarily from academia and industry professionals, highlighting the intersection of acoustics and electrical engineering.

I want to study acoustics but not sure what kind of work is out there. I would also like to be able to use my electrical engineering skills. What kinds of careers out there will involve use Electrical Engineering and Acoustics?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
On the web page of the Acoustical Society of America, http://asa.aip.org/" , you can find links to article titles and their abstracts from their Journal. Most of the authors are in academia.

The Audio Engineering Society, http://www.aes.org/" , also let's you see Journal abstracts. Some of these authors are in industry.

All phones and computers involve acoustics. Cars too, multi-channel sound systems, acoustic cancellation of road and engine noise, beam-steering a multi-microphone array to point a null at the open window to cancel wind turbulence noise and a peak towards the driver for voice pickup. Modeling of acoustic musical instruments, with a view toward software recreation.

Electrical engineering is a good fit with acoustics.

Thread 'Working for defense company?'

I don't know if anyone on here works for any of the well known defense companies of your country, whichever country you are from?? Also, if you choose to work in one, do you think the engineering education provide from your school would adequately prepare you for the job. What do I mean by that? Well if you work at say Lockheed Martin and you work in the latest iteration of a missile or if you work at Pratt & Whitney, they assign you to work in the team helping out with building the jet...

Thread 'Physics Major Considering Masters in EE -- Need help!'

Hello, I graduated from undergrad a few years ago with a Major in Physics and minor in Electrical Engineering. I tried to get experience working on and testing circuits through my professor who studied Neutrinos, however covid caused the opportunity to go away and I graduated with no experience or internships. I have attempted to break into the engineering industry with no success. Right now I am considering going for a Masters in Electrical Engineering and I need advice on if this would be...
