Bachelor of Applied Science in Architectural Engineering

Combine robust technical engineering and architectural thinking with a unique focus on communication, collaboration, and design. As an architectural engineer, you’ll be equipped with the tools to address issues such as the impact of design choices on a building’s energy efficiency and carbon footprint as well as the challenge of what to do with our aging buildings. You'll cover all the science and engineering that goes into good building design, including mechanics, structural analysis, structural design and more. In third year, you'll study at Waterloo's world class School of Architecture, deepening your understanding of aesthetics, culture, and other elements of design. As a graduate, you'll be able to speak the language of both engineers and architects. Your knowledge will encompass the whole scope of building design, construction, assessment, and refurbishment, the communication skills that will put you on the fast track to leadership in the construction industry. Explore the science of design. Gain the technical know how of an engineer while developing design skills through hands on modelling and prototyping studio courses each term. Collaborate with architects. You'll spend third year at our School of Architecture in Cambridge, Ontario, working and connecting with talented Architecture students and gaining expertise in design.
