Bachelor of Science in Architectural Engineering - Structural Engineering

Architectural engineers study new materials, construction techniques, project management and business management. History and design coursework give students a historical perspective on what works (and what doesn't...). Where do architectural engineers work: Architectural engineers have many career possibilities, from working with private construction and consulting companies, to a career in government or civil service as a building inspector, project manager or construction specialist. Architectural engineers plan, design, and supervise construction of many essential facilities and structures for residential, commercial, industrial and institutional buildings. These building systems include electrical, communications and control, lighting, heating, ventilating, air conditioning, fire protection, plumbing, and structural systems. Architectural engineers are problem solvers applying the latest in high-tech equipment and sophisticated procedures to address challenges concerning our environment and infrastructure. The diversity of architectural engineers complements the use of multiple systems to the intent and purpose of the project’s design. Mission Statement The architectural engineering program will provide students with the tools necessary to solve architectural engineering problems critical to our society’s well-being. This will be accomplished through a comprehensive, forward-looking and broad-based architectural engineering curriculum emphasizing fundamentals, practical applications, oral and written communication skills, computer applications skills, and professional practice issues and ethics. The program will prepare graduates for entry into the architectural engineering profession, for life-long learning, and to function as architectural engineers in a global society. Architectural Engineering Program Educational Objectives Consistent with the mission statement, graduates of the Missouri S&T architectural engineering program will demonstrate, within a few years of graduation: technical competency an ability to communicate effectively continuing professional development managerial competence an ability to work in teams professional responsibility Program Outcomes Consistent with the program educational objectives listed above, the Missouri S&T architectural engineering program graduates will have: an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability an ability to function on multi-disciplinary teams an ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility an ability to communicate effectively an understanding of the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, architectural, and social context a recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning a knowledge of contemporary issues including architectural principles and the historical development and significance of architecture an ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice This program is focused on Structural Engineering Along with this specialization you can choose following specializations also: Construction Engineering & Project Management Construction Materials Environmental Systems for Buildings
