Program Overview:
Architectural Engineering (AE) is the engineering design of buildings. The BS/MAE combine to make a five year engineering accredited program. Students have the option to specialize in either the design of building structural systems, building mechanical and acoustical systems, or building lighting and electrical systems. The first three years are common to all three and include the same math and science courses common to all engineering programs. The intent of the AE program is to develop both breadth and depth. This is done by requiring the students to have a good understanding of all the systems that make up a building while also giving them a specialized education in their chosen option areas.
