Architectural Engineering (M.S.)

Illinois Institute of Technology

Illinois Tech’s Master of Science in Architectural Engineering is oriented toward students who wish to develop more knowledge about the design, construction, and operation of buildings and their systems, including heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems facades and enclosures and electrical, lighting, fire protection, and plumbing systems. The program is intended for preparation for both engineering practice and research rooted in the principles of building science, indoor environmental quality, energy efficiency, and sustainability. You can pursue the program online, as a hybrid program, or on-campus in Chicago, where you’ll have access to the city’s thriving architecture, engineering, and construction industry. Architectural engineering faculty and students make significant contributions to the profession, working in areas of high-impact innovation including the built environment, airflow and thermal modeling, indoor air quality, energy and sustainability, and thermal comfort. Build knowledge and skills in building science, indoor environmental quality, energy efficiency, and sustainability of buildings. There are two program options: coursework-based (no research and no thesis is required) or thesis-based (coursework coupled with research, and a thesis is required).
