Department of Architectural Engineering & Design: Introduction: Faculty of Civil Engineering University of Engineering and Technology UET Lahore Punjab Pakistan
Department of Architectural Engineering & Design
During the last decade of the 20th century it was realized by the University that Pakistan will face tremendous challenges with regard to the provision of housing and other buildings for rapidly growing population in urban areas. It was also realized that the traditional Civil, Mechanical & Electrical Engineering will not be able to produce professional engineers & designers dedicated to the needs of the building industry. Furthermore, modern buildings have become very complex facilities housing several systems that ensure comfort and safety for the users.
It was realized that it is necessary to produce architectural engineers and designers who understand the Architecture, Engineering & Construction and the future trends. To fulfill these objectives the Department of Architectural Engineering & Design was created. The department offers the following programmes:
- B.Sc. in Building & Architectural Engineering
- M.Sc. in Building Engineering
- M.Sc. in Integrated Building Design
- Ph.D. in Architectural Engineering
The goal of the Building & Architectural Engineering is to provide graduates with multi disciplinary inputs for careers in the Construction Engineering, Architecture & Architectural Engineering. The multi-disciplinary education will give graduates a fundamental understanding of all building systems with an in-depth capability in a chosen option area. The breadth of technical knowledge includes:
- Architectural Studies: a comprehensive understanding of Architectural Design.
- Structural Engineering Studies
- Mechanical Systems Studies
- Lighting Systems Studies
- Electrical Systems Studies
- Acoustics Systems Studies
- Project Management
- Construction Methods
- Building Operations
