There are 25 major specialties in engineering that are recognized by professional societies. In any one of those 25 specialties, the goal of the engineer is the same. The goal is to be able to come up with a cost effective design that aids people in the tasks they face each day. Whether it be the coffee machine in the morning or the roads and highways we travel, or even the cars we travel in, it was all an idea that started with an engineer. Someone engineered each idea to make it the best solution to a problem. Even though engineer 's goals are similar, there are many different things that engineers do within their selected field of engineering. This paper will focus on the architectural field of engineering. Like all engineers, …show more content…
Some employers regard technology program graduates as having skills between those of a technician and an engineer. Bachelor 's degree programs in architectural engineering are typically designed to last 4 years, but many students find that it takes between 4 and 5 years to complete their studies. In a typical 4-year college curriculum, the first 2 years are spent studying mathematics, basic sciences, introductory engineering, humanities, and social sciences. In the last 2 years, most courses deal with the aspects of engineering, with a concentration in architectural engineering. Some programs offer a general engineering curriculum; students then specialize in graduate school or on the job. Some engineering schools and 2-year colleges have agreements whereby the 2-year college provides the initial engineering education; and the engineering school automatically admits students for their last 2 years. In addition, a few engineering schools have arrangements, whereby a student spends 3 years in a liberal arts college studying pre-engineering subjects and 2 years in an engineering school studying core subjects, and then receives a bachelor 's degree from each school. Some colleges and universities offer 5-year master 's degree programs. Some 5 or even 6-year cooperative plans combine classroom study and practical work, permitting students to gain valuable experience and finance part of their education. Beginning architectural
(Puyear) The future students who do not meet the qualifications of a four year college will be forced to complete a program at a Technical College to then seek further degree at a four year, which will ultimately be time consuming for a student.
Get creativity flowing as students don their hardhats to learn the complexities of designing structures! From integrating mechanics into structures to investigating the impacts of external forces, learners move through advanced, hands-on building and design activities. With new buildings reaching higher into the sky, architects and engineers are constantly working through questions of structure and style. Each day, students tackle those same challenges as they team up to develop an understanding of the real-world applications of
A four-year college is a serious deal for some students, but if you cannot accept the challenge, then it is okay to enroll into a two-year college or vocational school. Some two year colleges teach the same courses, but in a less amount of time. In addition, even if you do attend a four-year college, one would still require some sort of certification in some of the occupations that they would make out of a career. “Large numbers of those who are intellectually qualified for college also do not yearn for four years of college-level courses“(Murray 632). Many of the students that go to four-year colleges go because of pressure. It could be pressure by their parents or because they want make goals like their classmates and their future
to about 83 percent of high school graduates enroll in some form of postsecondary education, but only about 52 percent of students complete their degrees. Further, a very small proportion of students complete a degree in four years—“among students starting at ‘four-year’ institutions, only 34 percent finish a B.A. in four years, 64 percent within six years, and 69 percent within eight and a half years.”
Attending college gives the student a considerable amount of knowledge before entering their career. Pursuing a bachelor’s degree usually takes four years for the average student. During these years, students are studying all aspects and information about their future career
The goal fo architectural and engineered construction drawings is to organize, clarify, and effectively convey an enormous amount of detailed information in order to describe how a complicated building, such as a medical clinic or net-zero house must be built. Andrew's construction drawings have a quality of sophistication that demonstrates his genuine understanding of the complex codes and project criteria. It is important to note, on all of the projects Andrew has been involved in, I have never had a change order; this is undoubetly due to the consistant high quality of his work. I have no doubt that his concetrated attention to detail will be a critical asset in his future career.
Because of architecture people have homes and can survive. It is interesting to consider that architecture began in the Crude Ages. Within architecture, buildings must have to main types of structures. Modern architecture is a type of architecture that focuses more of aesthetics than on function. In order to understand this topic, it is first necessary to know about architecture’s history, the fundamentals of architecture, and the modern aspect of architecture.
Does college always require four years to complete a bachelor 's degree? No, many students have learned to find great success expediting the process with alternative learning programs. Utilizing these options can allow a bachelor 's degree to be completed in as little as one and a half years. These options vary by the students ' own needs, some people may have little to no experience but have loads of free time, while others with a lifetime 's worth of experiences and wisdom may have little to no time at all. Luckily, there are nine different options that will facilitate most people’s needs. Any student at Strayer University, or participating colleges, can take advantage of these programs. Personally, StraighterLine, DSST, and Life Credit Portfolio are the best fitting options for my time and experiences to streamline my college experience.
Undergraduate students are taking longer than the four year program to finish their schooling because of finances, stress, lack of motivation, and lack of being prepared emotionally and academically. Approximately 28 percent of Texas undergraduates graduate with a four year degree on time. Meanwhile, a little over half of all undergraduates graduate in six years instead of four.

Architects cannot move forward in their designs if they neglect the crucial need of technology nowadays. At the same time, this technology has affected architects work in general. While some people allege that technology has not affected the architects’ manner of thinking, others agree that it has negatively affected the way that architects think. Also, it has changed the manner in which architects present and deal with their designs.
In traditional architectural design, the use of measurable parameters often postponed or take place in a later phase of the design process. The concept design is rather focused on aesthetics, plan functionality and experience of spaces, however, this approach limits the success of an integrated solution.
Christianity was first introduced to Egypt through the teachings of Saint Mark the Evangelist, the founder of the Coptic Church and the writer of the oldest gospel available to date. As a result, various worshiping houses or churches were built in Egypt throughout the Coptic era. These churches were deeply influenced by the Christian beliefs and this can be clearly seen in their interior and exterior structure. One good example of an ancient church founded long ago in Egypt is the Holy Virgin Church in Harat Zuwayla.
Most of the high school students follow the footsteps of the older generation. After four year of High School comes four years of undergraduate and after undergraduate degree pursuit of master’s degree. However, the timeline isn’t quite as organized. As more students are encouraged to apply to colleges, more colleges and Universities are being founded. However most of the major public Universities such as Penn State, Rutgers and Indiana University of Pennsylvania gain their share of students through transferring students. According to the article published in USA Today, students are taking longer than 4 years to graduate college and the main reasons behind it are change of majors, lack of advising and planning, change of Universities and
The Second and Third Year is an extension of the first two years of Study and electives related to design specific interests are introduced. The level of Design also moves to a complex one of spatial, material, contextual nature and how they impact the design. Advance Computer Technologies and electives pertaining to it are introduced to help students identify different modes of representations. Environmental Studies remains a special focus to understand the impact of it on the built environment and to be socially responsible in the Design process in this stage of the program. The choice of subjects and electives are similar to what both the Australian Universities have to offer.
For my final photojournalism project I decided to take pictures of really tall buildings in London such as the Shard. For a while I wasn’t sure what I was going to do my project on and I was thinking about doing it on the process of opening and closing a local shop like Paul’s. I wasn’t really that motivated by that topic so I soon forgot about it. The idea to do my project on architecture came from my visit to the London Eye. When I was there I realized how vast and large London was and how many buildings occupied it. I was amazed how tall and massive some of the buildings were and a couple of them in particular stood out to me. After my visit there I decided I would pick one famous building in London to photograph and then add other pictures to my project that were less known, but equally as interesting looking buildings.
