Overview

Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) - Architectural Engineering

Architectural engineering bridges the gap between the professions of architect and engineer. 

If you are interested in engineering and ecologically sustainable design, this degree will develop your integrative design skills. 

It also inspires you to create buildings that are functional, efficient, beautiful, stimulating and have minimal environmental impact.

You will study a common first year allowing you to learn more about engineering and its different fields at the UoW

The common first year provides you with sound fundamentals in mathematics, statistics, physics, chemistry, computing, engineering science and communication, mechanics, materials and fluids.

From your second year you will focus on architectural engineering where you will learn about net zero energy, minimum environmental impact buildings that are integrated with renewable energy. 

Study areas include integrative and collaborative design studies, construction technology, history and theory of architectural engineering, project and practice management, environmental and cultural studies.

Your degree includes a 12-week hands-on industry placement

You may gain credit for relevant work experience, either in Australia or overseas, by participating in the Professional Options Program.
