Architectural Engineering Technology

Bachelor of Science Degree

The Architectural Engineering Technology (ARC) program synthesizes the aesthetic, technical and functional elements of building design and construction. The academic thrust of the program is applied technology. The students in this program will be educated in the process of building design from concept to completion.

The purpose of the Architectural Engineering Technology program is to prepare students for careers in architectural, structural, and mechanical aspects of the design and construction of buildings. The students will be educated in the process of carrying design projects from schematics through construction. In addition to preparing students for meaningful and rewarding careers at the Bachelor’s level, the program will also prepare students for successful entry in the professional and non-professional graduate programs in architecture and other areas.

Architectural Engineering Technology (BS) Program Outcomes:

• Find rewarding jobs in architecture or related fields
• Pursue further education or professional certifications
• Take on leadership roles in their field
• Get involved in professional organizations while engaging in lifelong learning to stay current with evolving technologies

The Bachelor of Science in Architectural Engineering Technology is accredited by the Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission of ABET, under the General Criteria and the Program Criteria for Architectural Engineering Technology and Similarly Named Programs.

Eligibility for Registered Architect licensure is based on a combination of education and experience.  Graduates of this program are eligible to sit for the Architect Registration Examination (ARE) in New York State after graduation and professional work experience under the direct supervision of architects, engineers, or public agencies as defined by the requirements for licensure.  Details are available here: https://www.op.nysed.gov/architecture

Potential Employment/Employment Demand

Employment in the architectural field is strongly tied to the level of local construction, particularly new structures such as office buildings, shopping centers, schools and health care facilities. As the stock of buildings age, demand for remodeling and repair work should also grow. The needed renovations and rehabilitation of old buildings is expected to provide many job opportunities according to the Occupational Outlook Handbook. Also, according to the Occupational Outlook Handbook, employment in this field will grow as fast as the average for all occupations during this period.
