Bachelor of Architectural Engineering - Construction Project Management

Oklahoma State University

Architectural engineering (AE) is a profession that combines the art and science of design with the creation of buildings. A detailed understanding of fundamental and applied engineering principles supports the work of the architectural engineer. AE differs from architecture primarily in its focus upon the design of the structural elements, systems and procedures for buildings, rather than the overall design.Dedicated faculty, state-of-the-art facilities and a community of like-minded students create a learning environment that is unmatched. The AE program provides our graduates with a highly desirable understanding of the overall production of architecture rarely found in other programs. AE students graduate with an understanding of the numerous factors that have an effect on the creation of architecture in contemporary society, and thus gain a deep appreciation of the cooperative nature of the professional practice of architecture.HighlightsThe ABET accredited curriculum offers students a studio based education where they can explore their creativity as well as further their abilities in math and science.Two options are available within the major of architectural engineering: structural design and construction project management. Both options are concerned with the technical nature of bringing a building to fruition. Graduates with a degree in architectural engineering must pass the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam, and the Professional Engineering (PE) and/or Structural Engineering (SE) exams to become a licensed professional.A twelve credit hour Graduate Certificate is available, focused upon the Integrative Design of the Building Envelope, which concerns a specific technical aspect of building design that is of interest to the student.
