Introduction
Architectural engineering also
termed as building engineering is a field which requires specialization in
architectural aspects and principles of engineering. It is related to planning,
designing and construction of building and architectural structures. It
includes other engineering fields such as mechanical, electrical and Fire
protection. Engineers in this field work with other architects on functional
requirements of building projects. Architectural engineering is a bright field
which focuses on several areas which includes structural integrity of
buildings, analysis of heating and air conditioning system, design of
electrical and fire protection systems, planning of energy conservation issues.
