Architectural Engineering Technology
Bachelor of Science Degree
The Architectural Engineering Technology (ARC) program synthesizes the aesthetic, technical and functional elements of building design and construction. The academic thrust of the program is applied technology. The students in this program will be educated in the process of building design from concept to completion.
The purpose of the Architectural Engineering Technology program is to prepare students for careers in architectural, structural, and mechanical aspects of the design and construction of buildings. The students will be educated in the process of carrying design projects from schematics through construction. In addition to preparing students for meaningful and rewarding careers at the Bachelor’s level, the program will also prepare students for successful entry in the professional and non-professional graduate programs in architecture and other areas.
Architectural Engineering Technology (BS) Program Outcomes:
- Graduates will have broad background in one or more areas of design: architectural, construction, site and structural in addition to history, theory and technology. Graduates will assume professional positions in architectural and building construction industry.
- Graduates will be creative problem solvers in industry.
- Graduates will be effective communicators in professional setting.
- Graduates will adapt state of the art technologies to improve processes in industry.
- Graduates will pursue continuing education and professional development opportunities to function effectively as a member or leader on a technical team.
The Bachelor of Science in Architectural Engineering Technology is accredited by the Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission of ABET, https://www.abet.org, under the General Criteria and the Program Criteria for Architectural Engineering Technology and Similarly Named Programs.
Eligibility for Registered Architect licensure is based on a combination of education and experience. Graduates of this program are eligible to sit for the Architect Registration Examination (ARE) in New York State after graduation and professional work experience under the direct supervision of architects, engineers, or public agencies as defined by the requirements for licensure.

Potential Employment/Employment Demand
Employment in the architectural field is strongly tied to the level of local construction, particularly new residential structure such as office buildings, shopping centers, schools and health care facilities. The boom in new construction in the region is expected to continue for a considerable time in the future. As the stock of buildings age, demand for remodeling and repair work should also grow. The needed renovations and rehabilitation of old buildings is expected to provide many job opportunities according to the Occupational Outlook Handbook. Also, according to the Occupational Outlook Handbook, employment in this field will grow as fast as the average for all occupations during this period.

Curriculum Summary
*FYE 101 First Year Experience is required for all first time full time students
Degree Type: BS
Total Required Credits: 125-126
Please refer to the General Education, Applied Learning, and Writing Intensive requirement
sections of the College Catalog and consult with your advisor to ensure that graduation
requirements are satisfied.
As a part of the SUNY General Education Framework, all first-time full time Freshman
at Farmingdale State College (FSC) beginning Fall 2023, are required to develop knowledge
and skills in Diversity: Equity, Inclusion, and Social Justice (DEISJ). Students will
be able to fulfill this requirement at FSC by taking a specially designated DEISJ
course that has been developed by faculty and approved by the DEISJ Review Board.
DEISJ-approved courses may meet other General Education Knowledge and Skills areas
and/or core competencies and thus be dually designated. DEISJ-approved courses may
also earn other special designations such as those for Applied Learning or Writing
Intensive.
