Architectural Engineering

UTA’s Bachelor of Science in Architectural Engineering degree program is the only one in North Texas. It prepares students to work on buildings as part of a team. There are four basic curriculum areas: building structures, building mechanical systems, building electrical systems and construction management. Elements of engineering design are introduced at the freshman level, followed by an analysis and design component in professional program courses, culminating in a comprehensive architectural engineering design experience.

Biomedical Engineering

UTA’s Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Engineering degree program enjoys a close affiliation with UT Southwestern Medical Center. The program prepares students for bioengineering careers requiring skills in research, development, and teaching in a variety of settings in industry, hospitals, research facilities of educational and medical institutions and government regulatory agencies. Graduates may also pursue continuing education in the medical and dental fields or bioengineering. The program offers two areas of concentration: Tissue engineering and medical imaging.

Construction Management

UTA’s Construction Management degree program is the only one of its kind in North Texas. It provides students with the knowledge and technical, administrative, and communication skills necessary to succeed in the construction industry. Students will be able to deliver sustainable construction projects with respect to scope, scheduling, budgeting, quality, safety, and the environment.

Electrical Engineering Student on another planet.

Electrical Engineering

UTA's Electrical Engineering degree program prepares students for career opportunities in wide-ranging areas that are in demand in industry today. To ensure that students are able to use skills learned in class, the curriculum builds upon itself: Students are required to complete sophomore design, junior design and senior design projects, with each year’s project adding on to the previous year’s, culminating in a College of Engineering showcase called Innovation Day, where they present the result of four years of work. This way, students continually apply their skills to real projects and ensure that they can demonstrate mastery before they enter the workforce.
