Entertainment Engineering and Design Major - Bachelor of Science (BS)
Engineering is the creative application of scientific and mathematical principles to the design, manufacture, and control of structures, machines, processes, and systems. Entertainment engineering is an engineering discipline that creates the highly technical designs that the entertainment industry has come to demand. Entertainment engineering involves the application of traditional engineering disciplines including computer, electrical, mechanical and civil engineering to the art of entertainment. Please see the UNLV Entertainment Engineering and Design department web page at https://www.unlv.edu/eed for more information about department programs, faculty, and facilities. Degree worksheets and 4/5 year plan for the major are available at https://www.unlv.edu/degree/bs-entertainment-eng-design-eng.
Please see advising information at the UNLV College of Fine Arts Advising Center at www.unlv.edu/finearts/advising or UNLV College of Engineering Advising Center at https://www.unlv.edu/engineering/advising.
