About
Architectural engineering bridges the gap between the professions of architect and engineer. If you are interested in engineering and ecologically sustainable design, this degree will develop your integrative design skills, and inspire you to create buildings that are efficient, beautiful, and have minimal environmental impact.
In your first year of this degree, you will study a common subject allowing you to learn more about engineering and its various fields. From second year you will focus on architectural engineering where you will learn about net zero energy and minimum environmental impact buildings that are integrated with renewable energy. Study areas include integrative and collaborative design studies, construction technology, history and theory of architectural engineering, project and practice management, environmental and cultural studies.
Your degree includes 12-weeks hands-on industry experience, either in Australia or overseas, as well as a range of industry projects and other career-ready learning opportunities.
Through regular exposure to industry professionals and our multi-disciplinary Sustainable Buildings Research Centre, as a graduate of this degree you will be industry-ready and capable of contributing to creative, integrative design solutions.
Areas of study
The first year provides you with sound fundamentals in mathematics, statistics, physics, computing, engineering science and communication, mechanics and materials. You then focus on your architectural engineering major from second year. You will study areas in construction technology, environmental and cultural studies, history and theory of architectural engineering, integrative and collaborative design studies, project and practice management.
Career opportunities
Architectural engineer, architectural specification manager, building designer, building services manager, building surveyor, commercial/residential surveyor, construction manager, design engineer, estates manager, façade engineer, ecologically sustainable design (ESD) engineer, interior and spatial designer, structural engineer, urban designer.
