Architectural engineering technologists convert the initial designs of an architect or civil engineer into technical documents.
They deal with the practical aspects of executing a design by writing detailed reports, drafting specifications, and creating presentations.
Working professionals can specialize in an architectural specialty, such as fire and safety systems, electrical systems, or foundations.They use 2-D and 3-D computer-aided design software to create topographical maps and construction schematics.
Technologists evaluate building sites using instruments and equipment, such as stabilometers and soil augers.
They also perform field tests and laboratory experiments to analyze construction materials.Additional responsibilities include selecting materials, estimating construction costs, and performing economic analyses of a building’s electrical and mechanical systems.
Architectural engineering technologists also ensure that design and construction activities comply with relevant codes and regulations.
