BA/BS in Architectural Engineering

Architectural Engineering teaches core design principles for building heating, ventilation and cooling, lighting and structures, alongside electrical systems and construction management. It is offered at Corvallis and through Ecampus. The program ties technical content together across its specialties and with the civil and construction engineering management programs. In the capstone sequence, student teams complete a full building design with detailed drawings and specifications, write design reports and present their work to mentors from industry. Graduates are expected to commit to a sustainable built environment, advance in professional careers across building planning, design and operation, take part in modern practice or graduate study, and pursue credentials such as licenses. Students learn to solve complex engineering problems and apply design that considers public health, safety and welfare.
