philosophy of the architectural engineering curriculum at the University of Kansas is toexpose students to the wide range of engineering and architectural subjects involved in the design andconstruction of buildings. While students do have a series of elective courses available in each of theabove areas, which allow them to develop an “area of emphasis”, students do not “major” in any singlearea. However, graduating seniors are required to complete their education with a capstone course taken ‘during their last semester in school which does allow them to design complete building systems in theirchosen area of emphasis. The capstone course for students with an emphasis in structural analysis and design is ARCE 681- Architectural Engineering
