Acoustical Engineering Schools
Acoustical engineers design spaces with acoustics in mind. For example, they may design buildings to control noise and ensure privacy. Or they may design theaters and music halls so that sound carries without echoing. Or they may design musical instruments. There are several schools that offer degree programs in acoustical engineering.
