Graduates must complete a research project on a topic of their choosing. This project is pursued under the supervision of a faculty member in the music engineering program. The results of the work are documented in a thesis paper and the work is orally presented to a committee of faculty members. The research projects completed by the Master of Science students cover a wide range of cutting edge topics. Very generally, projects use software design to explore facets of audio theory or practice.
All research is completed under the supervision of a faculty member.
In many cases, this research has lead directly to employment offers from audio manufacturers seeking employees with expertise in these areas. Several of these papers have been presented in technical papers sessions in Audio Engineering Society conventions. Our collection of graduate research can be found here.
