 Architectural
engineers apply engineering principles to the construction,
planning, and design of buildings and other structures. They often
work with other engineers and with architects, who focus on function
layout or aesthetics of building projects. Architectural Engineering
often encompasses elements of other engineering disciplines,
including mechanical, electrical, fire protection, and others.
 Architectural engineers are responsible for the different systems
within a building, structure, or complex.
Architectural engineers
focus several areas, including:
 the
structural integrity of buildings to anticipate earthquakes,
vibrations and wind loads,
the design and analysis of
heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems,
efficiency
and design of plumbing, fire
protection and electrical systems,
acoustic
and lighting planning, and
energy
conservation issues.
