Bachelor in Engineering : Architecture [180.0] - ARCH1BA

The Bachelor's of Engineering Sciences : Architect - Engineer, consists of foundation studies in the basic disciplines in which the architect engineer needs to acquire theoretical and practical skills. It provides an initiation and initial instruction in subjects which will be studied in depth and consolidated during the master's programme in Engineering Sciences : Architect - Engineer.
 
The function of the architect - engineer is clearly defined from the outset of the bachelor's programme. It is characterised by three key features : 

• the architect - engineer is a "generalist" architect (capable of intervening on every level of inhabited environments : territories, landscapes, towns and buildings), whose engineering skills are particularly developed (construction technologies and building physics)
• the architectural design studio is important in the programme both on a quantitative and a qualitative level, (ongoing practical work for which the student is responsible; active pedagogical tools ; the place where different kinds of working experience come together )
• the courses relating to the "physical conditions" and the "cultural conditions" which govern the milieux where architectural practices are carried out guarantee the overall balance of the programme and call upon both the Human Sciences and the Exact Sciences. 
  

In the design studio and for some course-related activities, students are closely accompanied in their studies throughout the whole process so as to situate themselves appropriately in individual and group work and make any necessary adjustments.
 
In addition, they are evaluated during the course of the quadrimester and yet again at the end of the quadrimester in each of the given subjects to ascertain whether they are meeting the demands of the programme and have successfully completed the modules concerned.
