The Architecture and Construction Industry encompasses a wide range of career options. There are many excellent employment opportunities within this dynamic and growing industry. The Educational programs offered by the Architecture and Construction Department are designed to prepare student to fulfill challenging employment opportunities within the industry.

The department offers two degree programs; an Applied Associates of Science Degree in Architectural Technology (345) and an Integrated Bachelor of Science Degree in Construction Management (605). Both degrees offer a range of options that will allow students to customize their course of study to fulfill future employment ambitions. Both degrees also require a high level of academic and technical abilities and students should have developed good math, science, art, and manual skills prior to enrollment in the program.

Architectural engineers are the engineers who make buildings function. Among their duties, they design and create the heating, air conditioning and electrical systems of buildings. Architectural engineering graduates pursue careers in the construction industry or related areas.

The Program
The four-year bachelor of science degree program prepares you for a career in the design and construction of buildings and building systems.

Through a combination of lecture and laboratory courses, you will connect theory and the practical application of design principles, practice, methods and materials. Graduating from the architectural engineering program provides you with a core of mathematics, science, construction materials and business, plus a design specialty.

There are three design specialties offered in the architectural engineering program. You must select one of the design specialties in your junior year:
Building Electrical Systems
Building Environmental Systems
Building Structural Systems

The MSOE Advantage
MSOE’s impressive faculty is the core of the architectural engineering program. With years of experience practicing what they teach, the professors make phenomenal instructors and even better mentors. The laboratories in which you learn the ins and outs of your profession are industry standard and so are the computer programs you will use. Additionally, the program offers the benefits of longstanding partnerships with business and industry leaders, as well as a comprehensive focus on student support.

The Results
MSOE’s graduates enjoy an average starting salary over $48,700. The placement rate in architectural engineering is 100%! The placement rate is so high because MSOE students work in sophisticated labs and learn important careers skills such as collaboration and client presentation. Companies such as GRG Engineering, A. Epstein and Sons International and Johnson Controls hire many of our graduates each year.
