**Overview and aims of the Programme**<br/><br/>Architectural engineers plan, design, build and maintain the buildings that shape our day-to-day existence with a focus on structural engineering, architectural design and building services.<br/><br/>This accredited course provides the knowledge, skills and hands-on experience you need to become a work-ready architectural engineer. Through laboratory sessions, field trips, individual projects and design classes, you will embed the knowledge gained from your lectures and tutorials and develop your practical abilities in surveying and design. <br/><br/>You will choose from a range of authentic, real-world engineering problems and industry-focused scenarios, to work on both individually and with student engineers from other disciplines. Group work mirrors the relationships of an engineering team and will help you to build professional skills, such as teamwork and communication. Our open access makerspace provides a place for you to design, create and collaborate.<br/><br/>The MEng degree programme allows you to expand and strengthen your knowledge in architectural engineering, and you will benefit from advanced learning in design and management as well as a multidisciplinary engineering design project.<br/><br/>**Distinctive Features of the Programme** <br/><br/>**Professionally accredited course**<br/>Accredited by the Institution of Civil Engineers, the Institution of Structural Engineers, the Chartered Institution of Highways and Transportation, and the Institute of Highway Engineers on behalf of the Engineering Council for the purposes of fully meeting the academic requirement for registration as an Incorporated Engineer and partly meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer.<br/><br/>**Industry-led content**<br/>Our course content is informed by industrial collaboration and delivered by leading academic staff, many of whom are Chartered Engineers or have worked in industry.<br/><br/>**Strong design element**<br/>There is a strong design element throughout the course, and you will have plenty of opportunities for hands-on practical work in our designated makerspace, specialist laboratories, workshops, and computer suites.<br/><br/>**Pathway to Chartered status**<br/>The MEng degree programme offers a quicker, more direct route to Chartered Engineer status than the BEng programme. <br/><br/>**Professional skills** <br/>Group projects with engineering students from other disciplines mirrors the dynamic of a professional engineering team and will help you to develop vital teamworking and project management skills.
