The New School of Architecture and Design is located in downtown San Diego, California, and was created in 1980. Here students can receive on campus or online education for a bachelor's degree in architectural engineering. The New School prides itself on the ability to provide laboratories and architectural innovations to its students. Students will have the opportunity to travel to Europe and Mexico to study historical and modern architecture as well as take part in design projects for multi-cultural companies. Students who wish to further their education can continue their career at the New School for a master's degree in architecture.
At the Department of Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering at the University of Texas, students can obtain an associate's, bachelor's or even a master's degree in architectural engineering. Here students will learn the fundamentals of building energy environments, construction engineering, construction materials and structural engineering. The program at the University of Texas is an Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET)-accredited engineering program and is ranked as one of the nation's best engineering schools by the U.S. News & World Report magazine. Upon graduation students will have a firm understanding of aesthetic design in architecture and will be able to specialize in an architectural field their senior year.
In the heart of California is the California Polytechnic State University or Cal Poly SLO for short. Here students can enter into the Architectural Engineering program to obtain either a bachelor's or a master's degree in architectural engineering. Through this program students will have a firm understanding of structural engineering and design. The Cal Poly program prides itself on using state-of-the-art laboratories and design techniques that create a creative learning environment for students in the program. Students will receive hands-on training and build their own personal design models as well as use the laboratory to test the overall structural stability of their designs. The Cal Poly program does not offer online courses for the program and students can apply directly through the university itself.
The Architectural Building Engineering Technology program can be found at the New England Institute of Technology in Warwick, Rhode Island. Here students can obtain an associate's or bachelor's degree in architectural engineering where they will have a firm understanding of structural technology, stability and creative architectural design. Students are taught to work as a creative team, rather than an individual, to prepare them for working in an architectural firm setting. Students will learn the different concepts of designing with wood, steal, brick and even concrete as well as the ability to create their own design models and test their structural stability. Upon graduation students can get their professional registration through the Boston Architectural Center that automatically accepts graduates from the New England Institute of Technology.
