Engineering Technologies and Engineering Transfer
Architectural engineering technicians assist architects, engineers and contractors. A wide variety of jobs are available for graduates, including architectural technicians, estimators and surveyors. Graduates convert preliminary designs of architects and engineers into working drawings and specifications, and they plan, supervise and do preliminary cost estimates of construction projects.
Architectural engineering technicians play an important support role to architects and engineers. There is a need for qualified technicians to assist architects, contractors and the allied construction industries in implementing new technological advances. With the development of new materials, building designs are limited only by one's knowledge, skills, creativity and imagination.
This program is accredited by the Technology Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, 111 Market Place, Suite 1050, Baltimore, MD 21202-4012 -- telephone (410) 347-7700.
Students are required to purchase an engineering pocket calculator and a set of drawing instruments. The cost for these instruments will vary from year to year.
In addition to college graduation requirements, a minimum GPA of 2.0 is required in all AET, CET, EGR, EGT, MET and EET courses.
