Architectural engineering is the application of engineering principles and technology to building design and construction. Architectural engineers work together with architects and civil engineers but are unique in both their skills and role as part of the building design team.
Our main goal is to create a community for Architectural Engineering majors to meet like minded people. We are a small and continuingly growing profession searching for career and networking opportunities for our members. Our chapter hosts general body meetings where companies have the opportunity to speak about their company to the architectural engineering student body. We also host professional development seminars and workshops for our members to help build their portfolios.
Mission
AEI at UTA provides its members timely technical information, professional advocacy, continuing education, and opportunities to excel in their careers.
Alongside developing professional relationships, we seek to create everlasting friendships through shared bonding experiences. Our chapter engages our membership through volleyball socials, movie and game nights, and school spirit events. Our organization is a home away from home. We are a family.
Our chapter provides our students with opportunities to develop their professional and technical skills through various events and competitions. Your support gives our chapter the necessary resources to participate in national competitions. We’ve competed in the Society for Design Administration’s Can-Struction and ASCE’s Timber Strong, Concrete Frisbee and Bowling Ball competitions.
Giving to our chapters means giving back to the community. The AEI Student Chapter has many community service projects planned for the year. We will be volunteering for Habitat for Humanity, participating in TrashBash, and engaging in UTA’s STEM outreach programs. Our big service project for the academic year is working to build and design a sensory room for Arlington ISD at James Bowie High School.
We believe that being closer to the community allows us to better understand the impact engineering has on society.
