Architectural Engineering Technology
 Architectural
engineering technologists often work in architectural offices and assist
in the building planning, design, construction, and operations or
maintenance planning. They will produce and use basic construction
documents, analyze the design of systems, specify materials, perform
cost estimates and manage technical activities on architectural
projects. Architectural engineering technologists often will convert
the draft or preliminary designs of architects and engineers into
working drawings and specifications. They may also plan, supervise, or
manage cost estimates of construction projects. They commonly work with
2-D and 3-D computer graphic and planning software, and provide their
expertise to architectural and engineering firms, construction
companies, or suppliers of building materials.
 Preparation
Those interested in a
career in architectural engineering technology should consider reviewing engineering
technology programs that are
accredited by
ABET, Inc. If you choose to attend a program that is not ABET accredited, you should be sure that the university
is regionally accredited. Students take courses such as basic drafting, building
design, architectural graphics, statics and strength of materials, and
concrete and steel design. The following is a current list of all universities
offering accredited degree programs in architectural engineering
technology.
