 Audio Engineering is a broad and varied field. Audio and sound equipment fall into the Sound Engineer (Technician) realm of expertise. Engineering as a science does not contain a discipline for audio or sound engineering so it is usually contained under Electrical Engineering. The Audio Engineering Society (AES) is making great strides in creating a structured discipline that may one day become a scientific degree but that day is still very far off. The AES does have a search engine where you can find a qualified Audio Engineer.

 I have a friend that is an acoustical engineer, and some audio equipment design could be linked to acoustics, but in general, I agree that electrical engineering (my field) is the most pertinent engineering discipline for audio design.
