Educational Aims of the Course
The overall aim of the programme is to develop knowledge, understanding and intellectual and practical skills appropriate to a variety of roles within the Architectural Engineering sector. Since the programme has a bias towards providing students with engineering skills and knowledge and the design of engineering systems for buildings, it is suited to those employed in or seeking employment in the design and consultancy arm of the Architectural Engineering and Building Services Engineering industries. The intention is to provide a stimulating and challenging programme of study that accurately reflects the activities in the Architectural Engineering industry and prepares students for effective, productive and responsible employment in the sector. The programme will offer the appropriate type and level of support as students build their knowledge, understanding and skills to become independent learners for the future. Students participating in the Sandwich placement option will develop, in addition to those skills they acquire as part of the main programme, a range of skills and knowledge relevant for immediate employment in the Architectural Engineering industry. The specific aims of the programme are to provide: 1. A programme of study in Architectural Engineering which facilitates acquisition of the essential skills and knowledge of the subject supported by industry. 2. The appropriate learning experiences to enable students to develop their skills and attitudes as independent researchers and innovative problem solvers to the fullest potential in the Architectural Engineering Sector. 3. An awareness of existing and future issues in the construction and property industry and how they are likely to impinge on the role and function of the Architectural Engineer. 4. Opportunities for development of the student's interpersonal and communication skills, with special reference to aspects of Engineering, Technology, Design and Management. 5. Opportunities for development of the student's professional attitude commensurate with that of the practicing Architectural Engineering professional and to permit them to specialise in selected areas of Architectural Engineering. 6. Raised awareness of the responsibilities of the Architectural professional in relation to sustainability, energy efficiency and environmental issues within the built environment. 7. To ensure that successful graduates will have the potential to contribute to significant advances in engineering and technological issues associated with their chosen industry. 8. To provide students with appropriate learning experiences to enable them to develop their skills and attitudes as independent researchers and innovative and creative problem solvers to the fullest possible potential in the Architectural Engineering sector. 9. To prepare students for the transition from Higher Education to employment within a professional context; and develop those transferable, specialist and employability skills that all stakeholders could reasonably expect of students who successfully complete a Architectural Engineering programme. 10. To encourage students to engage with the development of employability skills by completing a self-awareness statement.

Teaching, Learning and Assessment
The programme will be delivered using a mixture of lectures, tutorials, workshops, laboratory practical classes and design studio sessions. All aspects of the programme will seek to develop vocationally relevant skills and knowledge. Assessment will be carried out using a mixture of examinations and coursework; specifically assessments could consists of formal unseen examinations, in-class open book tests, online multiple choice tests, technical and/or research based written reports, and simulated design projects.
