I was wondering if old mine shafts can be reinforced and turned into low cost environmentaly friendly housing, and if so how stable would the reinforced mine shafts be?

Not very strong. In order to build underground housing, you may need to use much tough metals to reinforce. This may cut off oxygen (cannot breathe like soil) and if this type of reinforcement was not used, any earthquake, rain, or fire may trap and kill more people than you can imagine. What source of light and air would we use to support life? In the future, we may need to utilize the underground, but at the moment, it is not an immediate option. We have underground garages, but it may be too expensive to reinforce the whole underground.

I am looking at college courses but am not sure what my course is called. I would like to design roller coasters and build them. Someone told me that you need physics and engineering degrees, and is it called physical engineerring?

Mechanical Engineering

i wanna be an officer in the military but i don’t want to go to college so how fast can i get a degree in architectural engineering

You can get an architectural engineering degree generally in four years. If you do straight Architecture it generally takes five years, but it will depend on where you get it from. If you go through ROTC you can suggest your degree choices, but they will ultimately pick what they want to pay for.

Can Architectural engineering graduate get a job in oil and gas industry?

yes. Designing oil platforms, drills to get oil, refineries, better ways to get oil, there’s alot of stuff for you.

I would appreciate it if anyone could tell me where i could get this, especially online, but any where would be nice
Kinger do u always call people terrorists for no reason?

The City Tax Assessor’s office can give them to you for a fee, but nowadays they may hesitate to do so. You will have to go through a background check and explain what you want them for.

You would want the same protection, if it was your building.

I am planning to take the Architectural Engineering PE exam. For preparation, I have found only one referene book "Principles and Practice of Engineering, Architectural Engineering Sample Questions and Solutions" by AEI. Are there any other good review books out there for Architectural Engineering PE exam?
I am not trained as a architectural engineer. I have a BS in Ocean Engineering and a MS in Architecture, and have been working in building engineering field for a while.
Any advices are appreciated.
Thanks a lot
I have been working under PEs for six years now. I have passed my EIT and am preparing for PE exam.

As far as my understanding goes you can not even apply to take a PE exam until you have worked under a PE for a minimum of 5 years. Also you need to pass the FE (Fundamentals of Engineering) exam or called the EIT, Engineer in Training. There are a lot of books to prep you for that test but it is not an easy test, there are also prep classes offered at most local universities. Not 100% sure if this applies to your field but it does to me in Electrical Engineering. Hope it helps.

what’s the difference? in what they do, how much they make, who gets hired more, best colleges, years to graduate?

i like drawing, graphic designing and i like math too (and interested in computers)… which should i take in college? or do you have any recommendations?

thanks.

Architectural engineers focus on the math/engineering aspects of building design (loads, etc.) — the structural and functional elements.

Architects need to understand that but also focus on the artisitic elements of design. Good ones usually make more than the engineers.

If you go to a college that has a good school of architecture, they will help you with course selection. If you are in high school, find out whether you can take a CAD class. That’s computer-aided drafting–that would be perfect for you.

I am unsure about which major I should do in college- architectural engineering or aerospace engineering. On the one hand I would really like to work for companies like Nasa and Lockheed Martin and I am very interested in aircraft and spacecraft. On the other hand, I would also like to design buildings and possibly be an architect. Which major will land me a higher paid job in the future, and what are the average salaries for both majors? Also would I be able to major in aerospace engineering and minor in architectural engineering, or vice-versa?

I would do the aerospace. My friend recently graduated this past December and he got a job with Lockheed Martin and he started out making 60,000, that is in VA. He had to get a security clearance and it took about a month for everything to clear. He did not have an aerospace degree he had a Mechanical Engineering degree, but they have him working with the Aero people. He does the design work in Pro/E and something else maybe Catia, I think. The coursework between aero and Mechanical is very similar, it only differs by about 6 to 8 classes. The Architectual degree is also pretty good you can probably get a job making around 50,000, but it depends on your location. And like Christopher said you can probably minor very easily. You might even be able to double major. I know a few people that have done that and still finished in 4 years, but it is very difficult. I also completely agree with Samuel about doing mechanical engineering. I am kinda impartial because that is what I am in school for, but you can do the aero thing, civil, architecture, or even a little electrical. The electrical would be in the MEMS field micro electrical mechanical systems. Mechanical is very versatile.

Hi

I’m starting this degree in a month and was wondering if anyone has completed it or is studying it.

The main reason i’m asking is down to curiosity about the curriculum: how demanding is it, how many hours a week were you at Uni in 1st year, how much study on average did you do in your own time, did you manage to hold down a part time job or was the degree too demanding for one?

Basically looking for some background information from people who have studied/are studying this degree, and what books were needed in 1st year.

Cheers guys

Hi

I’ve not done this course but I did get my degree from strathclyde a few years ago… 1st year is pretty demanding..probably about same as 6th year school but you do have added pressure of making friends and getting to know a new routine.

For information about how many hrs you’ll be doing, you should email:

n.s.ferguson@strath.ac.uk

Neil Ferguson is the Academic Selector of the Department of Civil Engineering and will be able to answer any of queries to put you at ease.

Good luck
