Talk: Architectural engineering
From open-encyclopedia.com - the free encyclopedia.
I'm not sure if I buy this description of an "Architectural Engineer". Does an architectural engineer replace the various engineers in a project? Is it another professional the owner is expected to hire? What kind of buildings need an architectural engineer?
From my reading of this article "Architectural Engineer" appears to be a fancy name for a broadly trained civil engineer. -- Webgeer 22:48, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)
In fact, an "Architectural Engineer" is more specialized than a regular civil engineer. This specialization is recognized by ABET as well as ASCE. For more info see:
