• MSOE?s Master of Science in Architectural Engineering (MSAE) degree allows specialization in either the analysis and design of building structural systems or the analysis and design of building mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems (MEP). It meets the needs of architectural engineers who desire increased knowledge to design structural or MEP systems for modern buildings. MSAE courses focus on advanced topics on the analysis and design of building systems.
  • Courses are taught by faculty with extensive practical experience as well as academic credentials. Course work has been planned to show practical applications of engineering theory. Classes are scheduled to allow students to attend class while working in industry. The Master of Science in Architectural Engineering program currently is being offered as either a full- or part-time program and can be completed in five years or less.
  • The MSAE program requires that you have completed an undergraduate curriculum that included sufficient background in the chosen specialty. For the MEP Specialty, required topics are fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, basic HVAC, basic plumbing, basic illumination, and building control systems. For the Structural Specialty, required topics are mechanics or materials, indeterminate structural analysis, structural steel design, and reinforced concrete design. The Master of Science in Architectural Engineering program currently is being offered as either a full- or part-time program and can be completed in five years or less.
