Architectural Engineering (BAE)
Description
Architectural engineers design the structures for buildings, determine methods to construct them, and plan the building components such as heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) and electrical and lighting systems. Architectural engineers can work for architectural firms, private engineering consulting companies, mechanical contractors, government, energy efficiency consultants, lighting designers, and construction companies.
Architectural Engineering (AE) is the design of all aspects of buildings. The major areas within AE are designing the structural system to support the building, designing the mechanical and electrical systems, and managing the construction of the building. AE is a very interdisciplinary field, involved in all aspects of the design. Therefore, you need to know about the features of a building. Architectural engineers take courses in architecture so that they are familiar with the "vocabulary" of the architect. Students will be in classes with both architects and engineers. Students can focus in one of the areas of architectural engineering such as structures or construction.
Since engineering problems need practical solutions, our program includes three co-operative job assignments in industry. The experience is valuable for your resume when seeking full-time employment.
The curriculum in the first year includes courses from both the Architecture and Civil Engineering programs. Therefore, you can experience the integration of those fields early in the AE curriculum.
Students can continue graduate studies at 91福利社 in either Master of Civil Engineering, or one of the many other engineering programs.
It will generally take students at least 4.5 years to complete the Bachelor of Architectural Engineering degree.
This program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of .
Program Educational Objectives:
- Graduates of our AE program should work as practicing architectural engineers and take necessary steps to become certified or licensed as a professional engineer.
- Graduates of our program should create and contribute to comprehensive architectural engineering designs, problem solutions, detail development and/or research that is sensitive to user needs, economics, social context, community needs as well as address design functionality and aesthetics, environmental, public safety, and sustainability concerns.
- Graduates of our program should actively participate in professional societies, in other worthy organizations, and in their workplaces.
Program Learning Outcomes
Graduates of this program will have the ability to:
- identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics;
- apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors;
- communicate effectively with a range of audiences;
- recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of e
