Architectural engineering bridges the gap between the professions of architect and engineer. If you are interested in engineering and ecologically sustainable design this degree will develop your integrative design skills, and inspire you to create buildings that are functional, efficient, beautiful, stimulating and have minimal environmental impact.

What you will study

You will study a common first year allowing you to learn more about engineering and its different fields. The common first year provides you with sound fundamentals in mathematics, statistics, physics, chemistry, computing, engineering science and communication, mechanics, materials and fluids.

From your second year you will focus on architectural engineering where you will learn about net zero energy, minimum environmental impact buildings that are integrated with renewable energy. Study areas include integrative and collaborative design studies, construction technology, history and theory of architectural engineering, project and practice management, environmental and cultural studies.

This degree

This degree includes a 12-week hands-on industry placement, and you may also be eligible to gain credit for relevant work experience, either in Australia or overseas, by participating in our Professional Options Program.

Through regular exposure to industry professionals and our multi-disciplinary Sustainable Buildings Research Centre, as a graduate of this degree you will be industry-ready and capable of contributing to creative, integrative design solutions.
