Architectural Engineering Program Educational Objective

Within the first few years following graduation from the Architectural Engineering program, graduates are expected to be either pursuing graduate degrees or working as a professional in an area closely related to architectural engineering while pursuing licensure, and advancing professionally with confidence and experience in one or more of the architectural engineering disciplines of structural, mechanical, electrical, or construction. The B.S.E. in Architectural Engineering program prepares graduates to achieve one or more of the following:

1. Pursue advanced studies in a variety of architectural engineering disciplines, including but not limited to structural, mechanical systems, electrical systems, or construction management.
2. Successfully pursue life-long learning in their chosen field and remain active in professional societies.
3. Make scholarly contributions to their field through publications, technical reports, and technical presentations.
4. Conduct applied research and development across disciplines to advance technology and foster innovative techniques.
5. Apply principles of sustainability.
