Architectural Engineering
Architectural engineering students participating in the Solar Decathlon competition design the building envelope and mechanical systems of an energy efficient, solar-powered house.
Architectural Engineering is the study of buildings and building performance and includes construction engineering and project management, indoor environments and building systems, green building, structural engineering, and construction materials. The program combines fundamental strengths in each of these areas with a unique and internationally-recognized interdisciplinary program in indoor science and environmental engineering.
There is an undergraduate program in Architectural Engineering as well as an M.S. degree program. The links on this page provide more information about this career path, programs of study, and research in Architectural Engineering.
