The Field
Architectural engineers are the engineers who make buildings function. Among
their duties, they design and create
the heating, air conditioning and electrical systems of buildings.
Architectural engineering graduates pursue careers in the construction industry
or related areas.
The Program
The four-year bachelor of science degree program prepares you for a career
in the design and construction of buildings and building systems.
Through a combination of lecture and laboratory courses, you will connect theory and the practical application of design principles, practice, methods and materials. Graduating from the architectural engineering program provides you with a core of mathematics, science, construction materials and business, plus a design specialty.
There are three design specialties offered in the architectural engineering program. You must select one of the design specialties in your junior year:
- Building Electrical Systems
- Building Mechanical Systems
- Building Structural Systems
The MSOE Advantage
MSOE's impressive faculty
is the core of the architectural engineering program. With years of experience
