<p>Hello all,</p>
<p>I'm trying to get in touch with someone who majors in Architectural Engineering or someone familiar with the program from a student perspective. I've already contract the department to answer most of my questions regarding the program.</p>
<p>I just have a few more.</p>
<p>My son is an AE major (3rd year) - so I can try to answer your questions. Also, 1moremom will also have information, so I hope she sees this.</p>
<p>What questions do you have?</p>
<p>I’ve contacted the advisor Moses Ling who answered some questions of mine. However I was curious what sort of classes prospective AE students take Freshman year. Also, what kind of lifestyle they generally have in terms of sitting at a desk or being on site. I’m hoping to go on the Construction track within AE.</p>
<p>I’m pretty excited to visit the department in February.</p>
<p>Dr Ling is the best person to talk to. He was quite helpful when we met with him before DS applied. Answered all our questions quite well.</p>
<p>The AE curriculum is pretty structured and everything is spelled out.
[Penn</a> State Department of Architectural Engineering](<a href=“http://www.engr.psu.edu/ae/advising/index.asp]Penn”>http://www.engr.psu.edu/ae/advising/index.asp)</p>
<p>Basic freshman courses are Calc I and II, Physics (Mechanics), Chemistry, English, AE Orientation, and E-Design (Architectural Graphics). Then general ed type stuff.</p>
<p>haha My luck would have it that as soon as I posted this Dr. Ling sent me the same link with an excel spreadsheet for the entire AE track from the first to the tenth semester.</p>
<p>Thank you for your help :)</p>
<p>What option is your son going to study?</p>
<p>Not sure he has decided on an option, but I haven’t asked him in while. Will do so…</p>
