Program Director: Professor Masoud Sanayei
A bachelor of science in engineering with a program in architectural studies is available for students interested in a professional career in architecture or in the historical, aesthetic, and engineering aspects of buildings and other structures.
This program, offered jointly by the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and the Department of the History of Art and Architecture, provides a solid foundation in both the technical aspects of structural systems and the aesthetic and functional characteristics of buildings from an architectural and art history point of view.
The flexibility of the BSE degree allows greater concentrations in both art history and studio courses than would otherwise be possible, while providing a coherent basis for graduate work in architecture or design.
