Program Overview

Bachelor of Architectural Engineering

Program Overview

The Bachelor of Architectural Engineering (BAE) program is designed to equip students with skills in building construction engineering and management of building construction projects, with an understanding of various building systems and their integration. This program is distinct from the Bachelor of Architecture, which focuses on the art of design. Students interested in designing buildings and advising on their construction should enroll in the Bachelor of Architecture program.

Program Goals

• Goal 1: Provide a quality curriculum with synthesis in building construction/construction management, application level in building structures, and comprehension level in building mechanical and electrical systems, with an awareness of sustainability.
• Goal 2: Commit to social, economic, and environmental issues and practice high ethical standards in the profession.
• Goal 3: Prepare students with knowledge of local needs to enable them to compete adequately within local and international professional environments.
• Goal 4: Provide the community with highly qualified professionals with an awareness of basic concepts of architecture in the context of architectural design and history.

Admission Requirements

A minimum High School Average of 75% for Elite Track, 90% for General Track, or 80% for Advanced Track, or equivalent in Standardized International Systems, is required.

Career Opportunities

Graduates of the Bachelor of Architectural Engineering (BAE) program can work in different consulting engineering firms, governmental agencies, construction companies, and construction management. Furthermore, BAE graduates may pursue higher education to enhance their knowledge and expertise.

Graduation Requirements

The Bachelor of Architectural Engineering is awarded upon the fulfillment of the following:

• Successful completion of all courses in the curriculum.
• Successful completion of the equivalent of 16 weeks of full-time engineering training (internship).
• Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of at least 2.
