Illinois Tech’s Bachelor of Science in Architectural Engineering/Master of Engineering in Structural Engineering accelerated master's program allows students the opportunity to pursue advanced studies and complete both degrees in as few as five years.

Our undergraduate architectural engineering program offers students an opportunity to obtain an engineering education specializing in building architecture, building-system integration, and structural and computer-aided design.

Combined with our graduate program in structural engineering, students will gain the specialized knowledge needed to understand and design the built environment. Students will learn how buildings and bridges may be designed to resist the forces imposed upon them by external loads, gravity, wind, and earthquakes.

Coursework includes bridge and structural design, advanced reinforced concrete, plastic methods, and seismic design of buildings and bridges.

Program Overview

Our undergraduate architectural engineering program combined with graduate studies in structural engineering will provide students with specialized knowledge of how buildings and bridges may be designed to resist the forces imposed upon them by external loads, gravity, wind, and earthquakes.
