Architectural Engineering

Characteristics of the study program

The program focuses on expanding knowledge within technical-architectural education. The broad multidisciplinary profile of the graduate is designed to cover the legislation of construction project documentation in the scope of architectural and engineering services and related consultancy. It enables graduates to manage project teams of technical specialists in architecture and take responsibility for the complexity of this solution. Emphasis is placed on the graduate actively and creatively completing education based on construction-architectural studio creations, individually or in teams under the guidance of a group of teachers, which is considered a principled learning method to achieve his synergistic knowledge, skills and attitudes. Direct and personal interventions of teachers in the project design process, as well as discussions about it, are an essential part of architectural education and the ability to communicate conclusions, knowledge and justifications of their solutions in a regional but also wider framework.

Graduate profile - educational goals

Graduate of the study program expands their technical-architectural education during his studies, has developed educational skills that allow him to continue lifelong self-education. The broad multidisciplinary profile of the graduate is designed in such a way that it covers knowledge from the legislation of project documentation of buildings in the scope of complex architectural and engineering services and related consultancy. The graduate has the ability to manage project teams of specialists for the design and renovation of sustainable and intelligent buildings, respecting their complexity and innovative solutions in a real economic environment. The profile of the graduate is particularly shaped by education based on construction-architectural studio creations, conducted individually or in teams, which is a principled teaching method for achieving synthetic knowledge, skills and attitudes of the graduate, the use of these knowledge and skills and their integration. The intervention of teachers in the process of design and technical development of the project, as well as discussions about it, are an essential part of architectural education and lead students to clear and unambiguous communication of conclusions and their justification.
