Background of the department: Building Engineering Due to the large disagreement between the architects and other engineers involved in designing buildings, some people suggested having one building engineer involved with the team; this engineer has to have knowledge about all systems applied in buildings. So in the beginning he has to study some of the architectural design principles, then he studies all building systems including structural, constructional, mechanical, electrical...systems. All students have to develop their design skills according to what they have studied; they design projects with respect to the modular design principles, lifecycle costing (initial, running), time of construction, availability of materials and systems...etc
