Program Objectives

The objectives of the Architectural Engineering program are to:

Educate students in the fundamental principles of architectural engineering buildings and architectural support systems’ design, construction, supervision and maintenance by integrating design principles, technical knowledge, using modern engineering tools.
Help students develop the ability to use architectural engineering principles in analysing and solving problems of practical importance to the built environment and society at large.
Educate students to be engaged in self-development, lifelong learning and professional practice and development after graduation.
Train students to communicate effectively, be able to work in teams and become leaders in the architectural engineering society, and develop the requisite professional and ethical demeanour for a successful architectural engineering career.

Program Learning Outcomes

A student graduating from the Architectural Engineering program will be able to:

Apply knowledge of the fundamentals of mathematics, physics, science and engineering including advanced subjects that further the learning of specific architectural engineering areas.
Design and conduct experiments, to gather and analyze data as well as apply the results to address architectural engineering problems.
Design building systems, components or processes that meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as sustainability, economics, functionality, health and safety, and constructability.
Function in and collaborate within multi-disciplinary teams.
Identify, convey as well as to solve engineering problems.
Practice architectural engineering, including its technical and professional responsibilities and its ethical components.
Demonstrate excellent communication skills – writing coherent and accurate technical reports, and making effective oral presentations.
Evaluate the impact of architectural engineering solutions in a global, political, environmental and social context.
Appreciate the need for and have an ability to be engage in lifelong learning.
Demonstrate knowledge in multidisciplinary aspects of architectural engineering design and of contemporary problems.
Use the techniques and architectural engineering tools necessary for engineering practice.
