The AET program combines architecture and engineering theory with a solid foundation in mathematics and science. Students in the program study the architectural design process of a variety of building types and develop skills in sketching and computer aided drawing. Students learn structural and environmental systems theory, methods of construction, statics and strength of building materials, surveying and professional practices. A 3-year version of this program is available. Contact the Department Head for details.
The degree of Associate in Science in Engineering Technology with a major in Architectural Engineering Technology is awarded upon successful completion of the program. Graduates of the program are employed with architectural and engineering firms, contractors, surveyors, and in various governmental agencies. This program is accredited by the Technology Accreditation Commission/Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, Inc. (TAC/ABET), 111 Market Place, Suite 1050, Baltimore, MD 21202--Telephone (410) 347-7700.
