Architectural Engineering Accreditation

The Bachelor of Science program in Architectural Engineering is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET,  https://www.abet.org, under the General Criteria and the Program Criteria for Architectural and Similarly Named Engineering Programs.

Mission Statement

The mission of the Department of Multidisciplinary Engineering is to:

1. Utilize the strength of the College of Engineering’s core discipline departments to ensure graduates have strong technical skills appropriate to engineering practice.

2. Provide a vehicle for innovation in both engineering curriculum design and pedagogy, including active classroom techniques, laboratories, and other experiential learning activities such as fabrication, research, internship, and co-op.

3. Offer customizable opportunities for regional and/or underserved populations.

4. Enable means for students to have unique interdisciplinary/multidisciplinary educational experiences, which may include non-engineering disciplines.

5. Support access for students to develop knowledge and skills in emerging and even not-yet-existing fields.

6. Prepare leaders and engineers who exhibit a dedication to life-long learning, professional and ethical behaviors, sensitivity to global and cultural awareness and impact, and being agents of positive change.

Program Educational Objectives

Within a few years after graduation, Texas A&M University Architectural Engineering graduates will:

• Actively engage in architectural engineering practice and/or pursue graduate programs in architectural engineering or related fields.
• Achieve technical competency and eligibility to become licensed professional engineers.
• Complement their education through advanced studies, professional development, and/or continuing education courses.

Student Outcomes

Upon graduation, Bachelor of Science in Architectural Engineering students shall demonstrate:

1. An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.

2. An ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors.

3. An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences.

4. An ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts.

5. An ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives.

6. An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.

7. An ability to acquire and apply new knowledge and skills as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
