B.S. Degree, Architectural Engineering Technology

Degree Type: B.S.
Major Code: AET-BS
CIP: 1101501011
Former CIP: 150101

The Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Architectural Engineering Technology program emphasizes the application of existing scientific and engineering techniques to real-world problems specific to the built environment. The program provides students the knowledge and skills to plan, design, inspect, construct and operate infrastructure, systems and buildings. Beginning with foundation courses in math, applied science and CAD, students move on to the applied engineering courses that give them a solid technical background for their careers within the built environment. Architectural Engineering Technology students develop strong analytic and problem-solving skills. Their understanding of the principles taught in the classroom is enhanced with many hands-on labs and real-world applications provided by faculty with extensive education and experience in the field.

Due to the broad nature of their studies, graduates of the B.S. in Architectural Engineering Technology program pursue careers in areas such as architectural production and design, building systems, surveying, GIS, geomatics and engineering/project management.

Though many transfer pathways exist, the recommended pathway into the Bachelor of Science in Architectural Engineering Technology program is the Associate in Arts degree. Students are encouraged to meet with a Student Affairs specialist and/or academic advisor to discuss their individual academic goals. The B.S. degree in Architectural Engineering Technology consists of 128 credits, including 36 credits of general education coursework.
