Architectural Engineering Technology (BS)
Design and build the world around you. Make your mark on history by seeing your ideas take shape as infrastructure, buildings, and building systems. Vermont Tech offers exciting and challenging classes on how to plan, shape, and maintain the structures in the world around us. The bachelor’s program builds on the foundation established in the associate program in structural engineering, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and integrated sustainable design. Hands-on learning is offered in the lab and the field. Students test systems, observe construction projects and evaluate infrastructure design.

Graduates of this program are prepared for a wide range of careers working with architects and engineers, including contractors, project managers, or junior engineers.
Graduates are allowed to sit for the Fundamentals of Engineering exam in many states and, after meeting state requirements for appropriate work experience, may also take the Professional Engineer licensing exam.
The ABET-ETAC program educational objectives and student outcomes are listed on the Curriculum page.
Our Architectural Engineering Technology program has received the US Department of Energy Zero Energy Design Designation.

A student with a Bachelor of Science in Architectural Engineering Technology will be able to:
- Apply knowledge, techniques, skills and modern tools of mathematics, science, engineering, and technology to solve broadly defined engineering problems appropriate to the discipline
- Design systems, components, or processes meeting specified needs for broadly defined engineering problems appropriate to the discipline
- Apply written, oral, and graphical communication in broadly defined technical and non-technical environments and identify and use appropriate technical literature
- Conduct standard tests, measurements, and experiments and analyze and interpret results to improve processes
- Function effectively as a member and a leader on technical teams
Educational objectives that are demonstrated during their workforce careers include:
- Engineering skills: analyze, design, and implement building-related systems and products
- Engineering management skills: handle administrative, personnel, and technical project issues through appropriate communication and management techniques
- Design skills: demonstrate competence and creativity in the design of systems, components, or processes by researching and developing appropriate solutions to problems and using a variety of tools and techniques in their work
- Innovation skills: engage in post-degree learning and adapt to new and changing technologies
The program is accredited by the Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org.
The student, in consultation with their advisor, may develop a sequence of courses that best meets their pace, experience, and needs while still satisfying all degree requirements, including minimum required credits and required program courses. A typical curriculum is shown here.
