Calling all creative problem solvers! As an Architectural Engineering student, you’ll learn how to forge impressive design, collaboration, and communication skills with strong analytical capabilities and technical applications needed for building design and operation.
You’ll come away knowing how to discuss the aesthetic design of building projects with architects while still ensuring all systems are functional, secure, and safe: lighting, heat, plumbing, structural systems, ventilation, and more.
Only a handful of schools across North America offer this in-demand engineering program that addresses the need for engineers skilled in the whole scope of a building's life cycle. You’ll explore the science of building design by combining the latest in engineering and architectural concepts.
Learn how to assess, repair, and refurbish existing buildings to give them a smaller carbon footprint. There’s an emphasis on green building technology and sustainability for new builds too.
While covering the science and engineering that goes into good building design, you’ll learn how to communicate with precision and clarity – whether written, graphic or oral – and speak the language of engineers and architects.
Plus, get a tonne of project groupwork under your belt from day one. You’ll take one studio design course each term throughout your degree and in third year, you’ll study at our world-class School of Architecture in Cambridge, Ontario. It will deepen your understanding of aesthetics, culture, and other design elements.
With your big picture knowledge and stellar communication skills, you’ll be on the fast track to leadership in the construction industry.
