Civil, Architectural, and Environmental Engineering Architectural Engineering Department Website: www.iit.edu/engineering/cae The objective of the Architectural Engineering program is to prepare graduates to enter and be successful in the architectural engineering profession. Graduates are expected to become licensed professional engineers, and to reach responsible positions in a wide range of professional settings, including consulting firms, industry, or government. As well, this program will prepare students to begin and successfully complete graduate studies in engineering and/or post-baccalaureate education in a professional degree program. The Architectural Engineering program provides breadth in core sub-disciplines and depth in at least one area of specialization. This degree program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). Architectural engineering is a building-oriented discipline which offers students an opportunity to obtain an engineering education specializing in building architecture, building-system integration, and structural and computeraided design. Professional architectural engineers are concerned with the structural integrity of buildings; the design and analysis of HVAC (Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning); plumbing, fire protection and electrical systems; acoustics; lighting; energy conservation; building science and the study of building performance; and the management of construction resources and schedules. Graduates of the Architectural Engineering program will be well prepared for careers as consulting engineers, building contractors, construction managers, structural engineers, and knowledgeable specialists in related areas of building design and analysis. Architectural engineering shares much in common with civil and mechanical engineering but is distinct in its exclusive concentration on building projects. Architectural engineering students should have an aptitude in and an appreciation of the following areas of knowledge: basic principles of mathematics; physics and chemistry; manual and computer-aided drafting and design; surveying; construction materials; engineering mechanics; structural analysis and design; building-system integration; and professional practice and ethics. Architecture students who plan to pursue a Master’s degree in Architectural Engineering should take the following courses: CAE 208 Thermal-Fluids Engineering I CAE 209 Thermal-Fluids Engineering II CAE 383 Electrical nd Electronic Circuits Students should consult the IIT Bulletin: Programs for additional details. Graduate All architectural engineering students are required to take the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) examination during their senior year. The examination is offered by the State of Illinois in October and April. Students should contact the Department of Civil, Architectural, and Environmental Engineering for information concerning this examination. 82
