Architectural Engineering

The architectural engineering curriculum prepares entry-level engineers for the consulting engineering field who are well-grounded in the engineering specialties, have an understanding of how the building is designed and built, and know how the structural, mechanical and electrical engineering systems fit into the building. The program integrates a traditional engineering program with building systems courses. This course of study provides the theoretical tools required for engineering design and the ability to apply these tools to architectural structures to provide a completely functional building. 

Construction Science and Management

The construction science and management program prepares graduates to be a professional constructor, a competent manager of resources that include labor, material, equipment, time and money to meet project expectations of quality, safety, scheduling and cost. The program is an engineering-based management program and is designed to produce technically competent managers of the construction process.
