Architectural Engineering Technology, B.S.


Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Programs for CETA

Architectural engineering technology is a rigorous academic discipline that prepares students for a variety of professional careers in the design and building industries. The major is structured to provide a foundation in mathematics and the basic sciences, with laboratories and studios that are part of the architectural and engineering technologies. A strong component of general education, with particular emphasis on communication skills, ensures that students who pursue this program of study will have a broadly based education that prepares the graduate for continued education in architecture or entry into architecture or the building industries. While the career objectives of graduates vary greatly depending on their concentration of electives, all involve interaction with other professions in the design and building industries.

The Bachelor of Science program is accredited by the Technology Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (TAC/ABET) 111 Market Place, Suite 1050, Baltimore, MD 21202; 410.347.7700. The Master of Architecture program is accredited by the National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB), 1735 New York Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20006; www.naab.org.
