BSc Architectural Engineering – University of Engineering and Technology Lahore

B.Sc. Architectural Engineering at the UET Lahore profile is a four-year engineering degree offered only at the Main Campus in Lahore, per the official UG 2026 prospectus. It is distinct from the Bachelor of Architecture programme and is accredited as an engineering discipline.

Program Overview

Architectural engineering applies engineering analysis to buildings: structural systems, building services (HVAC, electrical and plumbing), building materials, energy efficiency, acoustics, lighting, construction technology and building information modelling, together with enough architectural design to work alongside architects. It suits Pre-Engineering students who want to engineer buildings rather than design their form, and who prefer a technical rather than a studio-based degree.
