Course summary
Studying Architectural Environment Engineering gives you the skills and knowledge to directly reduce the carbon footprint of our built environment. You will have the expertise to shape the design of smart and sustainable buildings. On this course you’ll also spend a year gaining industrial experience which will enhance your career prospects and build your professional skills. Architectural Environment Engineers work with architects and other professionals to bring buildings to life. You’ll learn about renewable energy generation, smart controls, thermal comfort (heating, cooling and ventilation), the acoustics of spaces and lighting design. Buildings are the world’s greatest energy users and because of this, our course has a strong focus on sustainability. You’ll become an engineer that can make a difference. You will have access to excellent facilities including dedicated design spaces, workshops and research labs equipped with the latest renewable energy technologies. This degree has three taught years meaning that you will only need to complete an additional year of further study if you want to become a chartered engineer. For some students, especially international students, the preferred route is to do our BEng course and then stay on to complete an MSc degree.
Modules
In your first and second year you will learn transferable skills, engineering fundamentals and specialist topics such as engineering mathematics, thermofluids and acoustics and lighting. You will also undertake a number of design projects. Your final year comprises of a range of optional modules, project work and an individual dissertation. A strong emphasis is placed on computational fluid dynamics, energy and waste, and heat transfer and refrigeration. Your research project will enable you to consider in more detail the holistic design of a building, its internal environment and the systems necessary to achieve a sustainable building. You will also undertake a year in industry in year three to develop additional knowledge in aspects of management and commercial practice within industry.
