Learning
The goal of the Architectural Engineering program is to provide engineering graduates with the best education available for careers in the building professions.
Deploy BIM on Projects
Professional
BIM Courses
As part of the Computer Integrated Construction Research Group at Penn State, we develop and disseminate structured procedures to plan and implement BIM on projects and in organizations.
CIC related Courses
Below is the list of specific graduate courses.
AE 570: Production Management in Construction
Applications of production management tools to capital facility projects; theory of production systems in construction; development of production control manual. AE 570 explores the use of production management to efficiently manage the delivery processes of capital facility projects.
By Dr. Robert Leicht
AE 573: Construction Automation and Robotics
The goal of this course is to provide an understanding of the challenges confronting automation and robotics in the construction domain, and the current state of such technologies; and the fundamentals needed to begin computer programming for construction automation and robotics.
By Dr. Houtan Jebelli
AE 575: Virtual Facility Prototyping
AE 575 is designed for students who wish to gain a more thorough understanding of the application of virtual facility prototypes in the construction. This course examines how BIM, advanced visualization, and VR and AR technology can be used to improve decision-making on construction projects.
By Dr. John Messner
AE 576: BIM Execution Planning
This course explores advanced topics related to the BIM Project Execution Planning Procedure, including research into advanced BIM and information management approaches. Students will learn how to design a BIM approach to maximize value to a project.
By Dr. John Messner
AE 579: Sustainable Building Project Leadership
Examines leadership skill sets, team competencies, and strategic methods for leading sustainable building construction projects and retrofits. AE 579 is focused on the cultivation of leadership competencies that enable the evolution of sustainable methods for design, construction, and operation of buildings.

Degree Programs in Architectural Engineering
The AE majors emphasize the application
of scientific and engineering principles to the planning,
design, and construction of buildings and building systems.
ARCHITECTURAL ENGINEERING, B.A.E.
The B.A.E degree is a undergraduate program that includes a senior thesis project done throughout senior year.
ARCHITECTURAL ENGINEERING, M.ENG.
The M.Eng. in Architectural Engineering degree is a non-thesis professional master’s degree.
ARCHITECTURAL ENGINEERING, M.S.
A thesis is required for the M.S. degree, program is developed in cooperation with the student’s academic adviser.
ARCHITECTURAL ENGINEERING, Ph.D.
The Ph.D. focuses on a thesis that displays a student’s ability to conduct high-quality, original scholarly research.
