Engineering (Architectural)

What is a Bachelor of Engineering (Architectural)?

The Bachelor of Engineering (Architectural) is a program for students who are interested in contributing to the structural design and the design and constructability of essential services in buildings. In addition, engineers who have been awarded a BEng (Architectural) are often employed as project and construction managers.

The engineer and the architect 

The role of an engineer with a BEng (Architectural) qualification meshes with the role of the architect. But, while the architect develops a design that meets the client's requirements in terms of the function and appearance of a building, the engineer ensures that the building's necessary, often hidden, component parts are integrated into the whole.

A brief list of what engineers graduating from this program can choose to focus on in their careers will show you how diverse their roles, and their education, can be:

• structural integrity
• construction management
• project management
• green building (energy efficiency; energy conservation and energy demand management)
• intelligent buildings
• heating, ventilating and air conditioning (solar and other renewable energies; indoor air quality; thermal comfort)
• plumbing and piping
• fire protection
• building power systems
• lighting
• building transportation systems
• acoustics, noise and vibration control
• building information modelling

Qualification and career

Bachelor of Engineering (Architectural) graduates are fully qualified structural engineers, eligible for membership of Engineers Australia.   read more
