Re: The courses that the students take during their Music Technology Education

[Arda Eden <ardaeden@xxxxxxxxx>]

Here in Turkey at the universities there are engineering faculties where departments like electronic or computer engineering are founded. The only sound engineering school is SAE and it's yet opened in Istanbul.

All music departments like conservatories, musicology and music education are taken under social sciences, so music technology is misunderstood and also settled under social sciences (everybody sticks on the "music" word, not the "technology"). But it seems like music technology is related mostly to math, electronics and physics.

Think about the situation that the students are in. They get upside down.

One reason that I created this thread is just to understand the formation outside Turkey.

All the feedback I've taken is so valuable and I'm planning to make presentations at several music departments by the help of the results I've got here.

Unfortunately, It's a habit of Turkish people to copy, not to create it first (that's my idea relatively, as a Turk). So the professors (or anyone who has rights to say in the matter) just want to see the evidence from Europe or somewhere else.

Thanks for the contribution.

Arda.

Extremely few of these schools actually produce any accredited
engineers, though.

I've only found one school in Miami in the entire world that educates
sound engineers, recognized by any formal engineering body.

On the other hand, acoustical engineering studies are mostly recognized.

99% of the worlds' sound engineers does not have any formal
engineering background.
