BS/MAE Program Educational Objectives :

---

The Architectural Engineering (AE) Program at the University of Nebraska is a five-year program encompassing a Bachelor of Science degree followed by a Master of Architectural Engineering degree.

ABET requires all accredited engineering programs to have Program Educational Objectives, which ABET defines as "broad statements that describe the career and professional accomplishments that the program is preparing graduates to achieve". The Program Educational Objectives for the Architectural Engineering program at the University of Nebraska are:

• Professional Accomplishment: The AE program will prepare graduates to become licensed professional engineers.
• Career Accomplishment: The AE program will prepare graduates to contribute to society by working in an occupation related to the built environment.

These Program Educational Objectives were defined and are periodically reviewed with input from all constituencies of the AE program: faculty, students, alumni, and employers of our graduates. Employers of our graduates are represented by the AE Advisory Committee, students are represented by the AE Student Leadership and Advisory Committee, and AE Alumni contribute via web-based communications.
