Unfortunately if you are like me you won't be able to fit in all of the technical classes you will be interested in.Audio actually motivated me to go to college and get an engineering degree in the first place. The degree can help but ultimately whether or not you become a designer is going to be up to you taking the initiative - the schools only going to give you a basic technical knowledge. It's up to you to apply it. In my case I ended up writing software and it's been a real challenge to remain in a technically interesting field - much less design equipment. Luckily for me I've been able to find jobs where I'm able to work at the hardware or close to the hardware level. For me I'm very satisfied with sw positions that require at least a full time o-scope and schematics at my desk. Getting something as specific as a position with an audio company seems like it would be almost impossible and even if I did find such a position it probably would not be financially enriching.
Also there's alot more to audio than just coming up with "designs".
The bottom line here is that if you are going to be an equipment designer you will do it with or without a degree. I work with a variety of hardware designers, from RF to digital designers, and I can tell you they are doing well at what they are doing because they worked hard learning, questioning and experimenting beyond the education that they recieved.
Give me rhythm or give me death!
