Architectural engineering (AE) is a profession that combines the art and science of design with the creation of buildings. A detailed understanding of fundamental and applied engineering principles supports the work of the architectural engineer. AE differs from architecture primarily in its focus upon the design of the structural elements, systems and procedures for buildings, rather than the overall design.

Dedicated faculty, state-of-the-art facilities and a community of like-minded students create a learning environment that is unmatched. The Architectural engineering program provides graduates with a highly desirable understanding of the overall production of architecture rarely found in other programs. Architectural engineering students graduate with an understanding of the numerous factors that have an effect on the creation of architecture in contemporary society, and thus gain a deep appreciation of the cooperative nature of the professional practice of architecture.
