The department

The Department of Architectural Engineering and Construction Science offers courses of study leading to the master of science degree. The department has ABET accreditation (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, Inc.).

The department consists of 14 full-time faculty members. The research interests of the staff cover major areas of modern building systems design: lighting/electrical, heating and air conditioning, plumbing, structural analysis, cold-formed steel design, energy analysis, energy auditing, acceptance testing, and indoor air quality. Several faculty members direct research and utilize this research in the enhancement of both graduate and undergraduate teaching. The objective of the program is to provide advanced studies in engineering, analysis and design of all the disciplines in building systems. The department has excellent facilities, which include design drafting rooms, classrooms, faculty offices, an outstanding electrical and lighting laboratory for research and teaching, and access to the most recent computer technology.
