Curriculum mapping reveals strengths and deficits in employability skills in Australian music technology courses, suggesting room for improvement.

The aim is to investigate how Australian music technology courses incorporate employability skills in their curriculum.
Curriculum mapping of 63 undergraduate courses in music technology was performed.
Learning outcomes were aligned with the Ten Skills for the Future Workforce and Australian Qualifications Framework.
A case study from the School of Music, University of Queensland, was used to illustrate curriculum mapping implementation.
Music technology courses uniformly teach skills like Novel and Adaptive Thinking and Computational Thinking.
Deficiencies were found in areas such as Cross-Cultural Competency and Virtual Collaboration.
The prioritization of specific technical skills may overlook higher-order applications of knowledge in social contexts.

Klein et al. (2019) studied this question.
