Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Architectural Engineering] From University of Detroit Mercy

Architectural Engineers (AEs) support the building design and construction process. Architectural Engineers design the structures for buildings, determine methods to construct them, and plan the building components such as heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC), electrical and lighting systems. Architectural Engineers can work in architectural engineering firms, in the construction industry, and for mechanical consulting firms. The AE Program prepares the students to become licensed engineers.  Architectural engineering is both architectural design and engineering. Students take courses in all of the areas of architectural design, building structures, construction, and mechanical/electrical systems, but may focus in the area of their choice. Note that this is a five year program.
