As you know, architects design buildings. Architectural engineers
specialize in designing the engineering systems within buildings.
Architectural Engineering is in many ways similar to civil and
mechanical engineering, but it is specifically geared toward the
building industry.Architectural Engineering majors study the planning, design,
construction, and operation of engineered systems for all different
kinds of buildings. What kind of engineered systems, you ask? In a
nutshell, all those tremendously important things in every building that
no one really notices like electrical systems, lighting, heating,
ventilating, air conditioning, fire protection, plumbing, and structural
systems.
