How Architectural Engineering is Different ?

• Architecture
• Civil Engineering
• Mechanical Engineering

• ARE role does not end when the building
• design or construction is over

• ARE meets concerns of buildings owners
• Occupants

• Safety, Quality, Aesthetics, and Costs

8
Academic Programs

• Bachelor of Science (132 CR)
• Summer training/Coop option

Specialization

• Building environmental control systems
• Building structural systems design
• Construction and maintenance management
• Computer-aided building design

• Master of Science (30 CR with thesis)
• Master of Engineering (42 CR)
