This video was so helpful. I’m planning on majoring in Architectural Engineering. Thank you for all the helpful info. Now I can finally jump into this major knowing what I’m getting myself into.

honoured to be your 666th subscriber I'm from the UK but your description of what Engineering's like was really helpful, your passion for the subject really shines through and it's infectious :)

[@vanny-kamylaguerra-callau4144]

Thank you so much this video was so helpful I wanna be an architectural engineer and make buildings that are both architecturally beautiful and sustainable for our future! That’s why I wanna do it so thanks for making me even more sure I want to lol!

Very good break down. Thus has covinces me mkre to pursue architectural engineering.

[@Patrick-sl8pc]

Hey, do you know anything about the architectural engineering/architecture dual degree?

[@meenamar6804]

Hi! I have a degree in Architecture and I want to major in Architectural Engineering for my Masters degree.Please can you share your opinion and advice that can help me or motivate me.And honestly,just trying to wrap myself around using the computer system for designing😄

[@iamfitniss]

Literally fell in love with how smart you are

[@lefaek3720]

Feels good that I hit all the HS classes u mentioned 😂

[@Briii...]

I thought I wanted to be an architect but after seeing this video I am now sure I want to be an architectural engineer cuz I am all the stuff u described in this video, thank youuuuu

[@jarod6856]

So is there like a lot of designing involved, like maybe drafting a bit? I sorta consider myself to have both an artistic and practical side, and I’m currently trying to figure out my major for certain (engineering field). I had considered architecture before, but I really don’t see myself as simply focused on just how things look, I do like learning about the structure of things, and was wondering if Architectural Engineering really has those two main aspects.

[@midnightsun1429]

Omg same, may I know what u ended up doing?

[@aylinmoreno8112]

This is so helpful, but I have a question, if I don’t take any of those classes to I have to take them in a community college or can I take them in a 4 year university? because after high school I’m planning of going straight to the 4 year university

[@dulguunbold2067]

Great, thank you

[@madisonenfinger4598]

ive been trying to decide between engineering and med school for months now and I think this video may have just made me decide

[@iiam.morgann7]

so, if you are majoring in architecture and architectural engineering, does that mean you can be a architect and architectural engineer?

[@tiabrown2808]

What if ur in the ib program in high-school

[@sauce8277]

Architect: Function Engineer: Structurally Sound

[@madelinegodoy1126]

Wait I'm looking at doing the architecture + the architectural engineering dual-degree option at UT at Austin! Is that what you did? Because I was very on the fence about it but I'm very interested in both fields.

[@TheGravyson]

Yes I am in that program now! I highly recommend it, there are a lot of great people here making the program better and better each year. Also if you end up coming to UT we might meet each other haha :D

[@ashleyaustria1014]

[@JM-xf3kv]

Oh god i have no knowledge of calculus for ihave taken ABM when i was at senior high welp i think its the end for me

[@Boxxxxxxxxx]

And if you’re an undergraduate art student that may pursue a masters in Architectural Engineering? What would you say to help solidify my decision? Right now, I am just discovering my interest and having a hard time deciding because I love sculpting and modeling and atmospheric design.

[@TheGravyson]

I would check with the specific universities you want to apply to, typically masters degrees in architectural engineering require some sort of undergrad in engineering because the masters will be more in depth and you'll need the basics learned in undergrad. However, many architecture (not architectural engineering) graduate programs do not require a technical undergraduate degree, but can have a lot of the same aspects of architectural engineering.

[@nishattasnim7404]

Hey. Does a person need to be very good at calcus for studying architectural engineering?

Hey, I am planning on majoring in mechanical engineering. Can I still get this job with that major?

[@TheGravyson]

Yes I have met many structural and building systems engineers in the field that graduated with mechanical engineering degrees!

[@angelikaortega5706]

Is there a school offering architectural engineering in the Philippines🇵🇭? Huhuhhhh. HEEEEELP!

[@khadrakhalid5351]

As a person who wants to work as consultant and open a consultancy center,would you recommend a Bachelor of architecture or a Bachelor of Science in Architectural engineering? Can Architectural engineers work as architects in the future like design buildings and other facilities? I really need help here

[@TheGravyson]

I'm not super familiar with consulting, but if you personally don't plan on doing any architectural work I would not recommend the B.Arch because it takes longer. In the US, Architects and Engineers cannot switch without going back to school because it is a requirement from the licensure board, but depending on the types of projects (typically smaller projects are more flexible) one might not need an architect or engineer specifically, so they could kind of act as both

[@TheGravyson]

Hope that helps!

[@weirdo.shrimp]

How much math have you had to do? Also, great video really love seeing a woman in stem!

[@joaquino5438]

Why not civil engineering?

[@toddholmes594]

Useful information: this major makes less money than other engineering degrees on average, this degree has low satisfaction rate, lastly this degree is rare and has very low graduates. This may sound like a good thing bc there is more jobs however civil engineering majors will get the jobs instead. Their degree is better understood by employers and more common. Civil engineering is also more general for what careers are available. Take that as you will from someone who just swapped majors.

[@chidaluaniekwenagbu5751]

Thank you for posting this video quick question what is the point of taking AP Chem?

[@janafawzy2003]

I think chem's just one of the courses you have to take in uni/college so having it in high school will just prepare you better

[@lapetitefleur3482]

a basic class almost everyone takes, like unless you're an English major or business major you have to take it.

Enjoyed your video, how do I contact by email?

[@SirAtticus]

Thanks

[@toby2120]

Hey great video, very helpful. I do have one question. How close is architectural engineering to architecture?

[@TheGravyson]

They are kind of like runners in a relay race, they’re both working towards the same end goal but are responsible for different parts. Architects handle more of what the building will look like, arrangement of rooms, where the entrance is etc. Engineers make the building functional by designing the structures, systems, and how the building will be constructed!

[@toby2120]

@@TheGravyson Thank you for your answer. My problem is that I am really close to designing as to engineering and cant determine which one fulfills me more.

[@angelikaortega5706]

Yeah. Same as to me. I am a Senior High School graduating student. And now I'm stucked between architecture and engineering. I need...... HEEEEELP!

[@sauce8277]

@GraysonxArch Said kinda wrong. Architects manage the function. Engineers manage the safety.

You can still major in architectural engineering! If your school has non-AP versions of the classes I mentioned, I would recommend taking them to see if you enjoy them, but otherwise, you'll always have a chance to take them in college.
