"Architectural engineering or architecture engineering, also known as building engineering, is an engineering discipline that deals with the engineering systems - such as structural, mechanical, electrical, lighting, environmental, climate control, telecommunications, security, and other technologies used in buildings."
This field focuses on the design, construction, and maintenance of buildings and structures, with an emphasis on functionality, safety, and aesthetics.
Building Codes and Standards: Overview of codes and regulations that guide architectural designs to ensure safety, accessibility, and environmental protection.
Structural Engineering: Understanding of the principles of statics, mechanics of materials, and structural analysis in designing safe and stable building structures.
Construction Materials and Methods: Knowledge of various materials used in construction such as concrete, steel, wood, and their properties and uses, along with different construction techniques.
Environmental Engineering: Understanding of the impact of buildings on the environment and how to design for sustainability and energy efficiency through building orientation, materials, and mechanical systems.
Building Information Modeling (BIM): Overview of technology and software used for digital representation and simulation of building designs to simulate construction projects, analyze performances, and detect conflicts before actual construction.
Mechanical Systems: Knowledge of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, plumbing, and electrical systems and how to integrate them in building designs.
Acoustics: Understanding of sound transmission and control in architectural designs to create optimum acoustic conditions for different types of spaces.
Lighting Design: Knowledge of lighting techniques, systems, and technologies to create functional and aesthetical lighting designs that enhance occupants' comfort and productivity.
Fire Safety Engineering: Understanding of fire protection systems and technologies, building materials and designs, and egress and evacuation plans to minimize risks and damages in case of fire.
Project Management: Skills and tools required to plan, organize, and manage architectural projects, including communication, leadership, risk assessment, procurement, and scheduling.
"From reduction of greenhouse gas emissions to the construction of resilient buildings, architectural engineers are at the forefront of addressing several major challenges of the 21st century."
"They apply the latest scientific knowledge and technologies to the design of buildings."
"Architectural engineering as a relatively new licensed profession emerged in the 20th century as a result of the rapid technological developments."
"Architectural engineers are at the forefront of two major historical opportunities that today's world is immersed in: (1) that of rapidly advancing computer-technology, and (2) the parallel revolution arising from the need to create a sustainable planet."
"Distinguished from architecture as an art and science of the building process design, architectural engineering is the art and science of engineering and construction as practiced in respect of building systems."
