Concentrations
The program of Architectural engineering encourages undergraduate students, in the beginning of Level 4, to participate in one of four concentrations responding to the professional demands:
- Architecture.
- Building Technology.
- Urban Design.
- Urban Planning.
These concentrations develop abilities and specialized skills that would serve students in the workplace and beyond. The concentrations require that the student has passed compulsory and elective courses in levels 1, 2 and 3 along with the prerequisite courses needed. Students will be addressed 8 credit hours “Graduation Project”.
- Architecture Concentration: The Architecture Concentration allows students to develop a comprehensive broad understanding of the concepts and methods for advanced design, technical and professional aspects of design of built environments.
- Building Technology Concentration: The Building Technology Concentration introduces students to building science and technologies. It enables them to develop an understanding of building performance requirements and building construction process; starting from the design development phase and ending with the preparation phase of tender documents.
- Urban Design Concentration: The Urban Design concentration main goal is to apply innovations to reform urban design practice to meet the dynamic new urban problems. This Concentration allows students to have a well-developed understanding of urban places and the inter-dependencies of the fabric of buildings, landscapes, public ways, social interactions and the environmental context that shape them.
- Urban Planning Concentration: Urban planning Concentration aims to broaden students’ appreciation of planning and urban theory whilst providing them with the necessary skills to engage in critical and creative problem-solving and to think critically in analytical ways across the different city scales, from strategic to local. This concentration allows students to explore international practices in urban development policy, planning and management that address contemporary spatial, socio-economic and political transformations in cities.
