Architectural Engineering<br />
Department Web site: www.iit.edu/~ce<br />
The objective <strong>of</strong> the architectural engineering program<br />
is to produce graduates who are prepared to enter the<br />
architectural engineering pr<strong>of</strong>ession. Also, this program will<br />
prepare students to begin graduate studies in engineering.<br />
This program provides breadth in core sub-disciplines and<br />
depth in at least one area <strong>of</strong> specialization. This degree<br />
program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation<br />
Commission <strong>of</strong> the Accreditation Board for Engineering<br />
and <strong>Technology</strong> (ABET).<br />
Architectural engineering is a building-oriented discipline,<br />
which <strong>of</strong>fers students an opportunity to obtain an<br />
engineering education specializing in building architecture,<br />
building-system integration, and structural and<br />
computer-aided design.<br />
Pr<strong>of</strong>essional architectural engineers are concerned with<br />
the structural integrity <strong>of</strong> buildings; the design and<br />
analysis <strong>of</strong> HVAC (Heating, Ventilating and Air<br />
Conditioning), plumbing, fire protection and electrical<br />
systems; acoustic; lighting; energy conservation; building<br />
science and the study <strong>of</strong> building performance; and the<br />
management <strong>of</strong> construction resources and schedules.<br />

Graduates <strong>of</strong> the architectural engineering program will<br />
be well prepared for careers as consulting engineers,<br />
building contractors, construction managers, structural<br />
engineers and knowledgeable specialists in related areas<br />
<strong>of</strong> building design and analysis.<br />
Architectural engineering shares much in common<br />
with civil and mechanical engineering but is distinct<br />
in its exclusive concentration on building projects.<br />
Architectural engineering students should have an aptitude<br />
in and an appreciation <strong>of</strong> the following areas <strong>of</strong><br />
knowledge: basic principles <strong>of</strong> mathematics; physics and<br />
chemistry; manual and computer-aided drafting and<br />
design; surveying; construction materials; engineering<br />
mechanics; structural analysis and design; buildingsystem<br />
integration; and pr<strong>of</strong>essional practice and ethics.<br />
All architectural engineering students are required to<br />
take the Fundamentals <strong>of</strong> Engineering (FE) examination<br />
during their senior year. The examination is <strong>of</strong>fered by<br />
the State <strong>of</strong> <strong>Illinois</strong> in October and April. Students should<br />
contact the Department <strong>of</strong> Civil and Architectural<br />
Engineering for information concerning this examination.<br />
