Background and Development Buildling Engineering is a multidisciplinary engineering field that applies a holistic engineering approach towards planning, design, construction, operation, renovation and maintenance of buildings, and also the impacts on surrounding environment. The discipline requires pertinent knowledge integrated from traditional well-established disciplines;
- Civil engineering for building structures and foundation;
- Mechanical engineering for Heating, Ventilation and Air-Conditioning system (HVAC), and for mechanical service systems;
- Physics for building science, lighting and acoustics;
- Electrical engineering for power distribution, control, and electrical systems;
- Chemistry and biology for indoor air quality;
- Architecture for form, function, building codes and specifications;
- Economics for project management.
Building engineering students are ideally trained in all phases of the life cycle of a building, and learn to appreciate buildings as an advanced technological system requiring close integration of many sub-systems and their individual components. Technical problems and appropriate solutions are studied to improve the performance of the building in areas such as: - Energy efficiency, passive solar engineering, lighting and acoustics;
- Construction management;
- HVAC and control systems; Indoor air quality;
- Advanced building materials; building envelope;
- Earthquake resistance, wind effects on buildings, computer-aided design.
The building engineering graduate may work as a consulting engineer, design engineer, project manager, construction manager, cost engineer, facility manager, conservation-utility director, HVAC engineer, operation manager, process engineer, or in research and development, among other career possibilities. Additional Program Outcomes In UniMAP, we have additional Program Outcomes which varies from one another in every program offered. This is because each program is unique and, hence, would produce graduates with different (albeit slightly) competencies. If a school offers two program, the school would have two sets of Program Outcomes. The additional Program Outcomes for Bachelor of Engineering (Building Engineering) are as follows. | PO 12 | Ability in designing and constructing structure of buildings as well complying to the needs of building engineering field
| PO 13
| Ability in planning, designing operations and refurbishing of buildings
| PO 14
| Ability in project planning and sensitive towards impacts on surrounding environment
