Overview

Architectural engineering bridges the gap between the professions of architect and engineer. Build on your passions for engineering and ecologically sustainable design to develop your integrative design skills, as you learn to create buildings that are functional, efficient, and beautiful with minimal environmental impact. You will learn about architectural engineering, net zero energy and minimum environmental impact buildings that are integrated with renewable energy. Your studies will include integrative and collaborative design, construction technology, history and theory of architectural engineering, project and practice management, and more.

You will study a common first year allowing you to learn more about engineering and its different fields. The common first year provides you with sound fundamentals in mathematics, statistics, physics,  computing, engineering science and communication, mechanics, and materials.  From your second year you will focus on architectural engineering.

This degree includes a 12-week hands-on industry placement, and you may also be eligible to gain credit for relevant work experience, either in Australia or overseas, by participating in our Professional Options Program. 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.
