Architectural Engineering

Emphasis areas include structural engineering, construction engineering and project management, environmental systems for buildings, and construction materials.

Architectural engineers plan, design, and supervise construction of many essential facilities and structures for residential, commercial, industrial and institutional buildings. These building systems include electrical, communications and control, lighting, heating, ventilating, air conditioning, fire protection, plumbing, and structural systems. Architectural engineers are problem solvers applying the latest in high-tech equipment and sophisticated procedures to address challenges concerning our environment and infrastructure. The diversity of architectural engineers complements the use of multiple systems to the intent and purpose of the project’s design.

The bachelor of science in architectural engineering (BSAE) degree requires satisfactory completion of 129 credit hours. In your first two years, you will complete mathematics, physics, English, architectural design and other prerequisite courses. In your third and fourth years, most of your course work will be in engineering sciences. Also in your fourth year you will complete engineering design courses in general and specific areas.

Courses in structural, electrical, mechanical and lighting design are directed toward providing reliable and efficient structures such as stadiums, retail complexes, office buildings and airports. Courses in construction engineering include studies in construction techniques, cost estimating, quality control/quality assurance, and contract administration. History, architectural design and humanities provide the necessary tools to appreciably coexist in the fabric of society.

Architectural engineering is a broad field of endeavor. Because of this breadth, courses are required in each of the above areas. Although you, as an architectural engineer, may specialize within a given area, by the very nature of the profession you will be required to interact with specialists in the other areas. You will find that you will be working with architects and engineers in the other disciplines in the planning, design, and construction of complex facilities.

Architectural engineers also must be effective in communicating with the public. You may be expected to work with property owners, concerned citizens, city officials, attorneys, and even medical doctors for concerns related to public health measures. The results of your work as a architectural engineer will be seen everywhere. Projects in which you will become involved must be economical, appreciable to self and community, and provide a reasonable life expectancy. Use of computer hardware and software is a key component of the BSAE program of study.
