Building Engineering Program
Building engineers are concerned with the planning, design,
construction, operation, renovation, and maintenance of buildings, as well
as with their impacts on the surrounding environment. Building Engineers
deal the architectural, structural, mechanical (HVAC) and
construction/management aspects of building structures. The goals of the
Building Engineer are to achieve
Adequate performance, Adequate factor of safety against
overloading, Initial low cost, and Low operation and
maintenance cost
This Program will emphasize analysis, design and
maintenance of building envelope in hot climate. Employment of building
engineers includes site Engineers, design engineers and project management.
