ENGINEERING



Hi you've reached WSIA's Engineering Department. Were not here right now, were actually out drinking and eating Taco Bell. Over here at WSIA engineering in between the revelry and napping we actually occasionally find time to do work!

I'm Laura the Engineering director and if you ever need to know what I look like (say... if you might be inclined to bring me a present or some Taco Bell..... anyway) I'm pictured above. We here in the engineering department like audio (music, voice, SFX, etc... in layman's terms) and the hardware used to make that audio sound it's best.



Being a college radio station many of our members aren't the professionals we'd like them to be, and sometimes things get broken. It is our job to fix them. We work along side the Chief Engineer to make sure the station continues to run smoothly. To prevent things from breaking more often we must clean and adjust the equipment on a regular basis. As a member of our engineering department you will gain intricate knowledge of all station equipment, learn soldering and wire making, and basic production skills. Engineers also aid in the recordings of live performances and the broadcast of remote events (ie; SI Yankees, and call in shows such as Talk Frank with Frank and the Sunday Night Sports Show). You may even learn some I.T. skills while you're at it. Engineering is the most hands-on department in the station. Without us the rest of the station would fall apart! Nothing will work, nothing I tell you! Honestly the Engineering department works in cooperation with all of the other departments to create a station that runs with the look and ease of effortlessness. So come down, check us out & join us, I guarantee fun*.
