Accreditation
Engineering Accreditation Commission
The Bachelor of Science and Honors Bachelor of Science in Architectural Engineering degree programs are accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, under the commission’s General Criteria and Program Criteria for Architectural Engineering.
Program Educational Objectives
Alumni of the architectural engineering program will be work-ready engineers, problem solvers, responsible professionals, and interdisciplinary collaborators. Specifically, within a few years after graduation, they will be:
Demonstrating a commitment to a sustainable built environment and applying their knowledge to contemporary societal issues with sensitivity to the challenge of meeting social, environmental, and economic constraints within a global community.
Progressing in their professional careers by analyzing, synthesizing, and evaluating information in one or more areas related to the planning, design, construction, operation, and maintenance of buildings, including but not limited to: construction management; electrical systems; heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning systems; lighting systems; structural systems.
Participating in modern professional practice or a graduate program in a specialty area of architectural engineering, demonstrating effective communication, collaborative work and leadership in diverse teams, ethical decision-making, successful management of personal and professional career objectives, and continual development through lifelong learning and professional involvement.
Attaining credentials appropriate for their career path, such as certifications, accreditations, and professional licenses.
Student Outcomes
The graduates of the architectural engineering undergraduate program must demonstrate that they have:
An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.
An ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors.
An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
An ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts.
An ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives.
An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.
An ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
