Architectural Engineering

Opportunities
The major in architectural engineering prepares students for
professional work in residential, commercial, institutional, and industrial
building systems, in cooperation with architects and other engineers.


Sample Co-op Experiences
When students complete their co-op jobs, they are asked to write an overview of
their experiences.These brief quotes are taken from some recent
student reports:

Project technician, major university: “Studied and surveyed existing
buildings and facilities for: their compliance with the Americans with
Disabilities Act, heating and air conditioning equipment sizing,
electrical loads, and their planning and usage of space. Designed
improvements from the field surveys taken, and developed
construction drawings. Worked closely with the workforce in
implementing these changes.”

CAD technician, private engineering firm: “Prepared computer generated
construction plans for various water and sewer reconstruction projects....Was able to expand my knowledge of Auto CAD to include Advanced Design Modules.”
engineering professions. In fact, when the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology — the accrediting body for all engineering programs nationwide — created a new award for educational innovation in 1990, Drexel was honored as the first recipient.
