BSc in Mechanical Engineering with Acoustics in West Hartford United States | University of Hartford

The Acoustical Engineering program is a nationally acclaimed interdisciplinary engineering initiative offered in collaboration with The Hartt School at the University of Hartford. Students can pursue either an Acoustical Engineering and Music major (BSE) or a BS in Mechanical Engineering with a focus on Acoustics. These two distinct pathways provide innovative approaches to integrating acoustics into an undergraduate engineering education at the University of Hartford. The College of Engineering, Technology, and Architecture at the University of Hartford is committed to developing versatile professionals who can transform their interests into rewarding careers. The Acoustical Engineering Program not only provides a strong engineering foundation but also enables students to nurture their musical passions.

Acoustics, the study of sound—its generation, propagation, and detection—spans multiple fields such as mechanical engineering, music, electrical engineering, biology, audiology, and physics. Students engage in practical acoustics projects with partners nationwide. Our program features two specialized tracks for incorporating acoustics into an engineering degree. Through our partnership with The Hartt School, acoustical engineering and music students delve into sound science, examining everything from creation to perception. Likewise, the BSME program with an acoustics concentration merges a comprehensive mechanical engineering education with the same foundational and elective courses as our acoustical engineering and music curriculum.
