What is Architectural Engineering Technology?

The Technological side of Architecture is a fascinating yet often overlooked aspect of the architectural industry. Modern design and construction frequently involves materials, techniques, and concepts unfamiliar to industry and practice. These new materials and products, alternative procurement strategies and extensive service installations have made the design and construction process more complex and at the same time less dependent on craft skills. In response to these challenges, the discipline of Architectural Engineering Technology has grown rapidly. Architectural Engineering Technology courses are primarily based upon the dual concepts of designing for performance and designing for production through the use and integration of Technology.

Our Program:

The Architectural Technology program will synthesize the aesthetic, technical, and functional elements of building design and construction. The academic thrust of the program is applied technology. The students in this program will be educated in the process of building design and construction from concept to completion. The program will offer a solid rationale for a strong education on the humanities and social sciences to parallel the professional offerings. The purpose of this program is to prepare students for careers in architectural, structural, and mechanical aspects of the design and construction of buildings. An additional purpose of the program is to prepare students for successful entry and high achievement in the professional graduate programs in architecture.
