Entertainment Engineering and Design Major (BS)

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.
