What is Architectural Engineering?

Architectural Engineering is a branch of engineering devoted to study and understanding of building systems as well as construction of buildings. Architectural Engineering is classified into three major areas: environmental system engineering, structural engineering, and construction engineering and management. Environmental systems engineering is composed of electrical, communications and control, lighting, heating, ventilating, air conditioning, fire protection, plumbing, and acoustics. Structural engineering covers analysis and design, behavior of structural systems, earthquake engineering, engineering science and mechanics, high-performance materials, and computer-aided engineering. Construction engineering and management is a specialty area dealing with a wide range of management skills based on construction engineering. Architectural engineers are leaders in the engineering design and analysis, construction, and operation of engineered systems for commercial, industrial, and institutional buildings and other facilities.

Architectural Engineering at Kyung Hee

Architectural engineeing at Kyung Hee University is an ABEEK-accredited program. The goal of the architectural engineering program at the Kyung Hee University is to educate the potential engineers to be global leaders. Through our well-organized education program, the students will have

1) a sound background in the fundamentals of architectural engineering such as environmental, structural, and construction engineering and management specialties;
2) problem-solving capabilities to satisfy the professional requirements in the real world; and
3) motivation to extend their professional knowledge by entering graduate and professional degree programs as well as other related professional careers. Three major areas offered at Kyung Hee University are: Environmental engineering studying electrical, communications and control, lighting, heating, ventilating, air conditioning, fire protection, plumbing, and acoustics; Structural engineering studying analysis and design of building systems, behavior of structural systems, earthquake engineering, engineering science and mechanics, high-performance materials, and computer-aided engineering; Construction engineering and management studying various construction technologies and methods as well as management skills. Management issues cover both project management topics such as time, cost, quality as well as safety, and general management topics such as financial accounting, economics, and legal aspects.

Degree Requirements

1) complete a minimum of 136 credit units
2) complete a minimum of 30 units of MSC(Mathematics, Science, and Computer courses)
3) complete 18 units stated in the common studies program and Humanities/Social Science Electives
4) complete more than 60 units of Elective courses in Architectural Engineering major including 19 engineering design courses
5) acquire a minimum English proficiency of TOEIC 650.
