Architectural Engineering

Architectural engineering prepares students for careers in the design and construction of building and building systems. Architects design buildings; architectural engineers plan, design, construct, and operate engineered systems like electrical and structural systems, lighting, heating, ventilating, air conditioning, fire protection, and plumbing within a building.

You usually must have a degree in architecture in order to be consider for a job in this field.  If you want to obtain a license, you must have a degree in the field.  Architectural engineers are typically employed in consulting engineering firms, but some also serve as construction or facility managers. Architectural engineers typically communicate well with architects and contractors, and understand their overall objectives; most schools have architectural and construction training as part of their engineering degree programs. Architectural engineers typically have or seek registered Professional Engineering (P.E.) status in the U.S.
