A bachelors in fine arts degree in theatre technology is helpful, but many unaccredited schools offer courses in sound technology. A strong background in electronics and math are also big pluses.

Because not enough engineer's in the world so they want to make it sound more important so more people will become one.
That is a broad question but I would have to say some of the most important subjects would be digital audio & theory, a recording class of some sort, depending on which software you, the school or the business uses. Music theory, media arts, and of course math because, audio technology, or sound engineering, media production, music production which are all basically similar degrees are a science.
There are quite a few things that a sound engineer can do. These sound engineers have the ability to manipulate sounds.
They are sound engineers. These people usually fall into 3 catagories based on what exactly they do. Recording engineer, mixing engineer, mastering engineer.
