What's special about Architectural Engineering?
By the end of their degree, these students will have an understanding of how the building goes together from start to finish. This includes:
- Architectural design principals
- The systems in the building (HVAC/R, electrical, mechanical…etc.)
- The materials required and how they behave under different circumstances (like stress, decay, corrosion…etc.)
- The building envelope
- How and when to implement green solutions
- Effective and cost conservative construction
For architects: These students will be future engineers who have an understanding of architectural design and building construction.
For engineers and construction project managers: These students will make incredible project managers in the future because of their 'big picture' understanding of the construction process. They'll understand structural, civil, electrical and mechanical engineering principals as well as architectural design - allowing them to collaborate effectively with all teams.
