About the Program

The department of architectural engineering is one of the six departments in the faculty of engineering at Rabigh, King Abdulaziz University that is established in, 1437-1438 H (2016-2017). The field of architectural engineering discusses the different aspects of buildings science and technology. These areas are including; building special design and analysis and integration buildings systems. The architectural engineering graduate will acquire several practical skills in the field of buildings design, structural analysis, electrical and mechanical layouts, sewage systems, fire protection, illumination and acoustic, building performance analysis, and construction management. Due to multi backgrounds that the AE program graduates possess, they will have the chance and the ability to find a job opportunities in many filed of the buildings industry. Such as Jobs in buildings design, building construction, construction management, building commissioning, and building systems verifications and installments.
