Bachelor of Science in Architectural Engineering

The Bachelor of Science in Architectural Engineering (BSAE) degree requires satisfactory completion of 138 credit hours. In your first two years, you will complete mathematics, physics, English, architectural design and other prerequisite courses. In your third and fourth years, most of your course work will be in engineering sciences. Also in your fourth year you will complete engineering design courses in general and specific areas.

Courses in structural, electrical, mechanical and lighting design are directed toward providing reliable and economical structures such as stadiums, retail complexes, office buildings and airports. Courses in construction engineering include studies in construction techniques, cost estimating, quality control/quality assurance, and contract administration. History, architectural design and humanities provide the necessary tools to appreciably coexist in the fabric of society.

Emphasis areas include structural engineering, construction engineering and project management, environmental systems for buildings, and construction materials.
