Architectural engineering (AE) merges creative design with technical building construction expertise. This field applies core engineering concepts to develop structural components, systems, and processes for buildings, distinguishing it from broader architectural practice.
Our program features exceptional faculty, cutting-edge resources, and a collaborative student community that fosters unparalleled learning. AE graduates acquire comprehensive architectural production knowledge that sets them apart from other disciplines. Students develop awareness of modern architectural influences and learn the collaborative essence of professional practice.
Program Features
The ABET-accredited curriculum combines design studios with advanced mathematics and science applications, nurturing both creativity and technical skills.
Students can specialize in either structural design or construction project management - two concentrations focused on the technical realization of buildings.
AE degree holders must complete the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam, followed by Professional Engineering (PE) and/or Structural Engineering (SE) licensing exams.
A specialized twelve-credit Graduate Certificate program offers focused study on Building Envelope Integrative Design, addressing this crucial technical element of construction.
