Profession acoustical engineer

Acoustical engineers study and apply the science of sound to various applications. They work in a wide range of areas including the consultation of the acoustics and elements affecting the transmission of sound in spaces for performances or recording activities. They can also consult on the levels of noise contamination for those activities that require compliance with standards on that matter.

Personality Type

• Realistic / Artistic

Knowledge

• Acoustics

  The study of sound, its reflection, amplification and absorption in a space.

• Engineering principles

  The engineering elements like functionality, replicability, and costs in relation to the design and how they are applied in the completion of engineering projects.

• Engineering processes

  The systematic approach to the development and maintenance of engineering systems.

• Acoustical engineering

  The engineering discipline that applies acoustics to design new technologies to reduce unwanted noise, to create applications of ultrasound, to improve the acoustics in concert halls, etc.

Skills

• Adjust engineering designs

  Adjust designs of products or parts of products so that they meet requirements.

• Perform scientific research

  Gain, correct or improve knowledge about phenomena by using scientific methods and techniques, based on empirical or measurable observations.

• Approve engineering design

  Give consent to the finished engineering design to go over to the actual manufacturing and assembly of the product.
