Architectural engineering is a profession that focuses the problem-solving techniques of the engineer toward the design and construction of safe, economical buildings. Students can choose a major in architectural engineering and explore the myriad challenges of designing and constructing today's modern and complex buildings, selecting an area of emphasis in either structural systems or mechanical and electrical systems.
 
In addition to preparing students for these varied and exciting challenges, the architectural engineering program also serves as an excellent springboard for students who wish to earn graduate degrees.
