And if anyone knows of any good colleges i could go to that have a good Engineering department I'd appreciate it.-I am a Architectual Engineering student at the University of Colorado, Boulder. As for the academic side of engineering... It has more to do with being stubborn...

Why do owners need Architectural services?
Why do owners need Architectural services? "Architects just draw plans" -- No matter how many times it is mentioned that Architects are professionals who take on an Architectural project from start to finish, from conception to completion, the majority of building owners in the public realm still think that "Architects just draw plans" and that they are an "unaffordable luxury". Some Architects describe the professional role as that of an agent between the owner and contractor ...

Architecture Vs. Structural Engineering
I'm a high school student with a strong creative bent and interest in design. I'm looking for information about architecture and how it differs and relates to structural engineering, what their different functions are in the field, and what a typical day's work is for each. PS, I'm a bit more interested in the science than the design aspect, so I was wondering if you could especially stress the differences in that area.-The architect is concerned with the whole building...from the ...

History of Architectural Engineering
I am looking for sources of information about the history of architectural engineering in the U.S. For example, I would like to know where the first few degree programs were and when they were established. I am also interested in the current state of architectural engineering education in other countries. Here in the U.S., new architectural engineers practice as consulting engineers who design building structural, mechanical, and electrical systems, and not as architects....

Architecture vs Architectural Engineering Degree
My daughter is a senior in high school and is interested in pursuing an education in architecture. A teacher recommended she look at arch eng since she is strong in math and science, and less so in the arts. She visited the Milwaukee School of Engineering which has an arch eng program and is now interested in attending there. I'm more inclined to suggest she pursue a traditional architecure degree. Does anyone have any comments on an arch eng degree? If she wants to head more i...

Architecture or Engineering
To all the architects and engineers out there: I sure would appreciate any information on the differences between architecture and engineering. I am currently in the process of a career change from a medical profession to a career in the construction field. I have a background in art and mathmatics, besides medicine, but I am having trouble deciding between getting a degree in architecture or a degree in civil engineering (structural engineer). I really love to read and think ...

Architectural Engineering
Does anyone know of any States that have an Examination for the Architectural Engineering PE license? And if so, if it granted to other states through reciprocity?

I've worked with scores of structural engineers, but never one who called themselves an architectural engineer -Sounds kinda cool though doesn't it ? -Yes, I worked with a fellow with a South Car...

Architectural Engineering License Exam
Anyone know much about the status of the Architectural Engineering license Exam? (BAE) I know when it might be offered at any state level is still to be determined after each state adopts it, but has anyone seen the exam yet and what it may consist of? I am a licensed Architect,in hopes of sitting for the AE registration sometime in the next couple of years. Will there be any study guides for this exam? It was suggested I take the FE and wa...

Would I work for an architectural firm, or some other organization?
I am currently a junior in physics at Seattle University, and I'm starting to think about career choices. I am quite interested in theatre. I was thinking that becoming a acoustical engineer was an interesting idea, designing buildings and rooms with excellent acoustics, but I must admit that I never heard of anyone who does this. Where would I learn the finer points of sound, and the theories behind what makes a room sound good. Would I work for an architectural firm, or some other ...

Looking for my IDEAL architectural engineering job - mechanical

Arch Engineering v Civil?
I am wondering what the advantage is to getting a degree in architectural engineering as opposed to a degree in civil engineering with additional course work in architecture.

architecture is to engineering as ??? is to computer science
I was wondering whether it would be a good idea to have a computing field in the arts, which would have a similar relationship to computer science as architecture does to engineering. See my proposal here: http://weblog.fortnow.com/2006/07/science-and-art-of-computation.html Do you think creative people who would major in architecture might think of majoring in such a computing field in the arts? It seems to me that it would be at least as creative but with the added benefit...

Architecture Right for Me?
I am a freshman at Ohio State University and I was majoring in architecture but now I am in civil engineering. I've always wanted to design buildings but the architecture program here seems very art involved with a lot of freehand drawings. I would much rather work with CAD programs which isn't even taught here. I don't want to be a drafter because I want to come up with my own ideas. Is architecture right for me, or should I do civil or architectural engineering?> I am a freshma...

Architects' average salary in the San Jose area and in California ?
Can somebody give me some statistics about the average salaries of intern-architects and experienced licenced architects in California in general and in the San Jose are in particular ? AFAIK, the *NATION-WIDE* average salary for intern-architects was $24,500 in 1992 and that for licenced architects with 8-10 year experience was $37,000 in 1992. That seems pretty low as compared to the average salary of engineers. Thanks for any info.-For comparison, our BS in architectural engin...

I would greatly appreciate some feedback from architects and architectural students regarding schools in Britain, USA and Australia. I would love to hear any comments. If anybody is aware of any related links or resources could they please let me know.-I don't know about schools, but, if I had the chance to go to any place in the world to study architecture, it would be in England. Mainly because of the clos...

Architectural Technology
Sorry to but in here but i was wondering if there was anyone out there that would give me thier opinion on the following..... Architecture without technology, can be attributed to the poor design of 'Yesteryear'. I'm examining the validity of the statement and the extent to which the construction industry can move towards a more integrated working practice.-Since Archi"tect"ure and "tech"nology are both derived from the same root word, I seriously question whether one can actuall...

architectural engineering
I am a junior in high school and as I start to take these standardized tests (SAT, ACT, etc.), I need to have an idea of what major I want to go into. Since I was maybe 8 or 9 I have always wanted to be an architect so I can design buildings, structures whatever... but after doing much research, I am starting to think such majors as engineering, more specifically architectural engineering or civil engineering are more what I am interested in... So what I need is a little advice f...

Question : from engineering degree to architecture
After 4 painful years in Chemical Engineering program I finally realized that this isn't the career path I wanted to take. I am considering to go back to school and study Architecture. My question is: Can I apply for a master program in Architecture since I already have a Bachelor degree or do I have to start over from Bachelor's program-There are indeed, professional degree programs in architecture that are Masters of Architecture programs designed for those holding undergraduate ...

Architectural Engineering
I have a BSET and a B Arch with 20 yrs experience in the A/E area and am also a licensed architect. My reason for wanting a PE in addition to my Architectural license is for job advancement purposes. I work in a facilities engineering group comprised of mostly engineers. To have a registered architect on board is an asset, but feel I need have the PE to "fit into" an advanced position. After applying for an A/E PE to my State Board, I was denied stating that most of my experience ...

does anyone know about "architectural engineering"?
I am interested in studying architecture with a bent for mechanical/civil engineering. A friend of mine mentioned that I should consider the major "architectural engineering", but I don't know much about this option. My questions are: (1) is this a widely accepted major in the architectural field? (2) does anyone know of any particular institutes that is strong in architectural engineering?-One of the finest schools that offer a degree in Architectural Engr (ARCE) is C...

Which engineers are more in demand?
Of mechanical, electrical, and aerospace, which engineer is more in demand? And which would you do if you were interested in all 3? (or all 8 for that matter)-I would do all three. The real world is mighty interdisciplinary. What parts / aspects of the different fields do you like? Look for the intersection of all three and go for it. Get good at all the general engineering skills that you take with you no matter what field you're in. In your decision process, you might want to...

where is architecture going?
Looking at architecture magazine and at the newest buildings being put up at home and abroad, I find myself wondering where architecture is going at the moment. It seems that anything is allowed, although of course the building industry is as conservative as ever. I notice an emphasis in some areas on particular materials, like glass and metal, which I have read is a new, desired fashion. But fashions are shallow and ephemeral. I am wondering what the theorists, if there are any ...
