Architectural engineers build and design facilities for the improvement
of public standard of living. They solve the requirements of energy needs,
urban development, building systems and community planning. There are different
fields of specialization in architectural engineering like: construction
engineering, heating, structural engineering, ventilating and air conditioning
engineering, illumination and electrical systems, solar heating and cooling.
This professionals use high-tech products in applying latest CAD (computer
aided design) and analysis techniques, using sensing devices during design,
construction and non-destructive testing and measurement. Architecture is the
favourite field for most engineers. But many choose varied fields such as
landscape architecture, interior design, engineering architecture jobs,
planning, urban design, computer imaging, solar design and technology,
environmental law, community development, environmental engineering and
environmental psychology. The employment growth in this field is estimated
around 19% in recent years. The average starting architectural engineering
salary nationally is $48,805.Graduates with a Bachelor's Degree get a starting
offer of $41,667.
Engineering Architecture Jobs - Scope
Majority of AE graduates join firms which deal with structural, HVAC, and
electrical design. Some choose small specialty firms with a focus on acoustical
consulting or lighting. One may work as facilities managers or choose a
manufacturer and work with design of building system components or in sales.
There is another option and that is construction management.
