The purpose of architectural engineering is to explore engineering knowledge related to the building creation process. It is also a comprehensive study of engineering, science and art required in the design and construction of buildings. Accordingly, our educational content is closely related to real-world situations and thus composed of four main fields, focusing on the cultivation of students’ abilities to efficiently manage the building construction process within these four areas: Building Structure: The most engineering-based field to which the mechanical concept of physics is applied. This field deals with various theories for designing and constructing buildings safely and economically. It includes application mechanics, structural mechanics, reinforced concrete structures, steel structures, and computer-based structural analysis. Building Environment and Facilities: This field deals with the protection from the external environment, which is the basic function of the building. These fields include heat environment, air environment, light environment, and sound environment, all of which are based on energy problems. It also includes all building facilities systems related to building performance. Construction and CM: Includes construction-related technologies and methods, construction management (CM), construction information management (BIM), etc. Building materials: This field allows students to learn the mechanical performance and characteristics of materials used in buildings as well as the various theories about building materials including the development of new materials following the trend of constructing high-rise and large-scale buildings.
