Electricity and Electronics for the Theater

Professor Ed Weingart taught the class Electricity & Electronics for the Theater this spring.

The goal of having classes such as these that represent STEAM is to blend science, technology, engineering, art, and math. Innovation is key to a fulfilling education. It was first implemented by Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), and the movement has grown exponentially since.

The class had 9 undergraduate Engineering students from Electrical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering enrolled. As for SFA students, there were 8 — one Undergrad BFA Design Tech student who is double majoring in Theater and Engineering, three Technical Direction MFA students, 2 Puppetry MFA students, 1 Costume Design MFA student, and 1 Lighting Design MFA student.

This concept will change the world, so sign up for more than just a class!
