<p>I was an architectural engineering major. I picked the major because I wanted to be a structural engineer. I wanted to design buildings. I did NOT want to major in civil and learn about highway design, wastewater treatment, etc. We were required to take a couple of semesters of architectural design to understand what architects do.</p>
<p>At the University of Texas at Austin, it is possible to double major in architecture/architectural engineering. I never saw the point in it, but a few people every year manage to do it.</p>
