Programs
Undergraduate
The Department of Technology offers a Bachelor of Science degree in Building Science with two concentrations:
Construction Management
The Construction Management curriculum prepares students for leadership positions within the commerical, industrial, residential, performance, and research sectors of the building industry. Unique to the curriculum, students take professionally-oriented capstone courses that include collaborative, inter-disciplinary projects that embody the fundamentals and techniques learned in previous coursework, which includes aspects of engineering, design, and technology.
Architectural Technology and Design
The Architectural Technology and Design curriculum provides students with opportunities to apply the techniques of sustainbility and energy efficient construction to large and small scale design projects. Students pursue careers in the design, engineering, and building performance sectors of the building industry and those interested in becoming registered design professionals use their portfolio of work to continue studies at the graduate level in architecture, landscape architecture, urban planning, and engineering.
Graduate
The graduate degree programs within the Department of Technology are designed to provide advanced education, research opportunities, and professional development in selected technical areas. There are two graduate concentrations relative to Building Science:
Building Science
The Building Science concentration within the Masters of Science in Technology focuses on developing construction management expertise and is also recognized for its emphasis on energy efficient building design, construction, and testing, as well as use of alternative building materials.
Building Energy Engineering
Designed for individuals with an engineering or science background interested in a program with a strong technical emphasis on design and construction of buildings and systems for energy efficiency and healthy indoor air quality.
