The Master of Science in Engineering has in-depth knowledge and understanding of exact sciences with the specificity of their application to engineering.
The Master of Science in Architectural Engineering can conceive and implement design concepts by creatively integrating architectural and engineering sciences with attention to the structural, material and energy performance of buildings and structures, and their architectural value and constructability.
The student is able to recognize and define all major lighting quantities, daylighting concepts and metrics, and has a good knowledge of essential visual comfort parameters and non-visual effects of light on humans.
The student understands light interactions within the built environment, can explain the various sky models, and is able to find and use daylight inputs from climate data.
For a given case, the student can determine a reliable daylighting assessment method, and evaluate through a critical analysis the daylighting qualities of a building or urban massing project with a demonstration of the advantages and opportunities within its context.
The student can apply adequate daylighting concepts for a building project, communicate advantages and disadvantages of a chosen solution, and work out the application of the daylighting system in consideration of other systems in the context of a design project.
The student masters a daylight simulation tool and understands the various input parameters. The student is able to make sense of the obtained simulation results in order to draw conclusions helping to improve the building performances to the established targets.
The student can summarize and present the results of a team design project and can critically analyze existing scientific or applied daylighting content.
