 Architectural
engineers apply engineering principles to the construction, planning, and
design of buildings and other structures. They often work with other
engineers and with architects, who focus on function layout or aesthetics
of building projects. Architectural Engineering often encompasses elements
of other engineering disciplines, including mechanical, electrical, fire
protection, and others.
Architectural
engineers are responsible for the different systems within a building,
structure, or complex.
Architectural engineers focus several areas, including:
 the
structural integrity of buildings to anticipate earthquakes, vibrations and
wind loads,
the
design and analysis of heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems,
efficiency
and design of plumbing, fire protection and electrical systems,
acoustic
and lighting planning, and
energy
conservation issues.
