Title of the Programme
The programme shall be bachelor of Engineering in architectural Engineering
- Background
Architectural Engineering students will learn how to design technical solutions for planning and designing buildings and towns. If you and the architect are to speak the same language, it is vital that your specialist engineering knowledge is combined with creative method and good communication skills. So you will learn from day one how to develop ideas and communicate visually using 3D models. In order to integrate technical knowledge into architectural projects, you also need strong competences in fields such as construction, materials science, indoor climate, installation and energy design, and urban design and town planning. Light and space are needed if your creative thoughts are to take flight. You will therefore be taught by architects and engineers in high-ceiling studios, where you will do everything from solving mathematical problems to designing bridges, calculating light incidence, and building architectural models.
- Justification
Architectural Engineering is a study programme that gives you both engineering expertise and an understanding of the architectural whole of which your project forms part. As an architectural engineer you can therefore help engineers and architects better understand each other’s work—saving time and money and protecting the environment. The BEng Architectural Engineering programme is designed to produce architectural engineers with strong problem-solving skills and a comprehensive understanding of the multidisciplinary aspects of building.
- The targeted group includes holders of:
Advanced Level Certificate of Education; An upper secondary education or equivalent, or a vocational education is required.
Diplomas in Engineering and other related Science and Technology fields;
Degrees in the Physical Sciences.
General Objectives
Graduates of the program will be well prepared for careers as consulting engineers, building contractors, construction managers, structural engineers, and knowledgeable specialists in related areas of building design and analysis.
Specific Objectives
The current educational objectives of the undergraduate program in architectural engineering is embodied in the following statements:
- Graduates are prepared to enter the architectural engineering profession.
- Graduates will meet the expectations of their employers.
- Graduates will become licensed professional engineers, and reach positions of leadership in a wide range of professional settings including consulting firms, industry, academia, or government.
- Graduates will begin and successfully complete graduate studies in engineering and/or post-baccalaureate education in a professional degree program.
Duration of the Programme: 4 years and one Year for advanced Diploma student
