This five-year major applies science and engineering principles to the design, construction, and operation of buildings and building systems. Four options are available: Construction, which emphasizes construction engineering and management; Lighting/Electrical, which includes the analysis and design of illumination and electrical distribution systems; Mechanical, which includes the analysis and design of energy efficient heating-cooling systems, indoor air quality, plumbing, fire protection, and architectural acoustics; and the Structural option, which emphasizes the design of structural systems.
Graduates may find employment with consulting engineering firms, architectural/engineering firms, commercial organizations with extensive building facilities, government agencies, building construction firms, construction management firms, or commercial and residential developers.
