Abstract
Seventeen architectural engineering (AE) programs are ABET-accredited in the US. To gain accreditation, a program must meet general criteria common to every engineering program and specific criteria that are unique to the type of program. The Architectural Engineering Institute (AEI) Academic Council recently rewrote and approved the program criteria for all accredited AE programs. This paper examines the new criteria and reports on the issues and decisions that were made in their development. Comparisons are made with the existing AE program criteria and the new civil engineering program criteria. The issues include the recognized AE sub-disciplines, the minimum degree of attainment in each sub-discipline, the role of architecture, the role of design, the need for flexibility to preserve the uniqueness of the various programs, and the minimum requirements for math, science and engineering fundamentals.
