About this course

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, and inspire you to create buildings that are efficient, beautiful, and have minimal environmental impact.

In the first year you will study common subjects allowing you to learn more about engineering and its various fields. From the second year, you will focus on your chosen major where you will also have the option to complete a double major, combining two engineering disciplines. Available double major combinations include architectural engineering and environmental engineering, architectural engineering and civil engineering.

From second year you will focus on architectural engineering emphasising sustainability for both new and existing buildings, and retrofitting practices for existing structures. You will learn about net zero energy and minimum environmental impact buildings that are integrated with renewable energy sources. Study areas will include integrative and collaborative design studies, construction technology, history and theory of architectural engineering, project and practice management, as well as environmental and cultural studies.

Your degree also includes 12-week hands-on industry experience, either in Australia or overseas, as well as a range of industry projects and other career-ready learning opportunities.

Through regular exposure to industry professionals and our multi-disciplinary Sustainable Buildings Research Centre, as a graduate of this degree you will be industry-ready and capable of contributing to creative, integrative design solutions.

Our faculty's commitment to excellence is internationally recognised, as evidenced by the consistent ranking of our civil, manufacturing, mineral and mining, materials, and mechanical engineering courses among the top 150 universities worldwide.
