Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) - Architectural Engineering (Sandwich Year)

Professionals working in architectural engineering are highly influential in creatively shaping the built environment. Combining architectural design with a thorough understanding of technological and engineering developments, the University aim to make graduates of this course highly sought after in industry internationally and nationally. In the first year, common to other building and engineering disciplines, students will be introduced to the fundamental topics of building design, engineering and the construction process. These learnings are essential to practitioners in all construction professions, such as what constitutes good building design and what causes damage to buildings. In the second year, students will be introduced to more complex issues surrounding the profession such as adaptation of buildings, urban planning and structural design which aims to further explore their design and engineering knowledge from the previous year. The course culminates in a research-informed design project and an integrated design and construction planning project in collaboration with other students from the construction courses.
