该计划适用于那些希望了解与建筑物中使用的能源，二氧化碳和功能性能相关的工程策略和系统以确保高性能的人员，以及这些与建筑设计的基本方面（例如空间设计和人类对建筑的反应）之间的关系。建筑环境的物理特征。该计划的基础和组成部分是数学和建筑科学的基础，也是对管理和专业实践的理解，这些知识构成了现代建筑工程专业人士的知识库和技能。
The programme is for those who wish to understand the energy, CO2 and functional performance-related engineering strategies and systems used in buildings to ensure high performance, and also how these relate to basic aspects of architectural design such as spatial design and human response to the physical features of the built environment. Fundamental and integral to the programme is a grounding in mathematics and building science as well as an understanding of the management and professional practices that form the knowledge base and skills of the modern architectural engineering professional. For those who are interested in pursuing a career as architects, it is advised to enrol onto the BA (Hons) Architecture programme.
