Description
Four graduate programs are offered in architectural engineering through the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. This University of Nebraska-Lincoln program is offered in Omaha, Nebraska at the Peter Kiewit Institute of Information Science, Technology, and Engineering (PKI). Omaha is located 50 miles northeast of Lincoln.The Master of Architectural Engineering (M.A.E.) is intended primarily for students who have graduated with a Bachelor of Science in architectural engineering from the University of Nebraska. The degree is a professional degree based on course work and design work with a graduate project. The program includes three option areas: (1) lighting and electrical systems, (2) building energy systems and acoustics, and (3) structure.
The second graduate program is an area of study within the College of Engineering's Master of Engineering (M.Eng.) program. This program is intended primarily for graduates of engineering programs in fields other than architectural engineering who are now working in architectural engineering related positions.
The third graduate program is the Master of Science (M.S.) which is a research-based thesis degree.
The fourth is the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.). Within the architectural engineering field, Ph.D. students can concentrate on building energy, lighting, electrical, acoustics, and structures.
There are several professional societies and student groups on campus including:
- Acoustical Society of America, University of Nebraska Student Branch
- Architectural Engineering Institute, University of Nebraska Student Branch
- UNL Architectural Engineering Construction Student Outreach Program (AECSOP)
- Illuminating Engineering Society of North America
