Program Outcomes
PO-1Understanding the basic principles of structural systems, development and appropriate application of contemporary structural systems.
PO-2Understanding managerial tasks of architect and approaches, models and techniques to improve effectiveness in project and construction management.
PO-3Understanding the relationship between sub systems which forms entire building and building technology, to ensure effective and correct use of a complex building from the beginning of design process to the usage, and ability to be able to criticize them.
PO-4Ability to direct the experience gained from architectural engineering to new fields and ability to generate strategies.
PO-5Ability to transfer and apply knowledge according to architectural engineering, to the beginning of design and construction processes of a project.
PO-6Ability to use the theoretical and practical knowledge of the field related, referring to undergraduate competence.
PO-7Ability to conduct research, analysis, interpretation; to use appropriate techniques and produce original results in the field of architectural engineering.
PO-8Competence for analyzing, interpreting and associating within the framework of architectural engineering with the project and construction processes.
PO-9Competence for producing a comprehensive architectural project from the beginning of schematic design to detailed system development phase (structural and environmental systems, safety and fire protection, partition systems, building envelop, building service systems).
PO-10Competence for making strategic decisions of architectural design projects, in the field of architectural engineering, and generating original solutions.
PO-11Competence for presenting a work – made individually or within a group – systematically, in a foreign language, using the required computer programs, oral, written and visual.
