Architectural Engineering Program Accreditation and Information

ABET logo

The Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in architectural engineering at Kansas State University is accredited by the Accreditation Commission of ABET, https://www.abet.org, under the commission’s General Criteria and Program Criteria for Architectural and Similarly Named Engineering Programs.

Architectural Engineering Program Educational Objectives

Program educational objectives are broad statements that describe what graduates are expected to attain within a few years after graduation. Program educational objectives are based on the needs of the program's constituencies. The department’s faculty and industry leaders established the following educational objectives for the K-State architectural engineering program.

Within the first few years following graduation from the Architectural Engineering program at Kansas State University, graduates are expected to be working as a professional in an area closely related to architectural engineering, pursuing licensure as applicable, and advancing professionally with confidence and experience in one or more of the architectural engineering disciplines of structural, mechanical, electrical, or construction.

Approved by the faculty on October 16, 2020.

Architectural Engineering Student Outcomes

Student outcomes describe what students are expected to know and be able to do by the time of graduation. These relate to the knowledge, skills and behaviors that students acquire as they progress through the program. The architectural engineering program will enable students to attain the following by the time of graduation:

1.an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics
2.

an ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specific needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors
3a.an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences with graphic depiction
3b.an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences with oral presentations
3c.an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences with written documentation
4.an ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts
5.an ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives
6.an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions
7.an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies
