Abstract:
Audio production post secondary education runs from short term “certificate” programs through post graduate programs. AES is in a unique position of providing support to these schools. AES provides a networking channel between educators including our new on line educational forum with active student sections at many of these schools and provides support to these sections. The AES Conventions offer educational events which bring students and faculty from many schools together. This panel is designed to support and expand the AES educational network and focus on common issues faced by audio production schools and their students.
Specifically:
1. Maintaining a facility that will attract students.
2. Attracting industry participation.
3. Keeping curriculum current with industry needs.
4. Providing a broad based program allowing for multi-talented graduates.
5. Internships
6. Placement of graduates
