The Architectural Engineering Master of Science (MS) program focuses on the emerging trend of the design, construction, and operation of sustainable and high-performance buildings. The program focuses on two key areas: Energy Sustainability, and Indoor Environment, both addressing and elaborating on wider sustainability dimensions and impacts on buildings. Accordingly, the program is developed under the Theme of: “Sustainable Energy and Indoor Environment” (SEIE). It offers courses addressing new emerging concepts, technologies, and stat-of-the-art developments in the area of smart, sustainable, and high-performance buildings.
The MS consists of 30 credit hours, of which 12 credit hours are core requirements, 12 credit hours are electives from Architectural Engineering courses, 6 credit hours are free electives from KFUPM graduate courses, and there are 6 credit hours of thesis work. The elective courses are classified under three major areas of Sustainable Energy (SE), Indoor Environment (IE), Supporting Elective Courses (SU), and required Master Thesis as well as Free Elective (FE) Courses offered by other departments at KFUPM.
The minimum requirements for possible admission as a regular graduate student to pursue an approved program leading to an advanced degree in Engineering and Science are:
In addition to the above-mentioned KFUPM requirements, the applicant should meet the following ARE requirements:
Protect, restore, and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss
Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns
Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable
Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy for all
Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization, and foster innovation
