Modern buildings are becoming more resource efficient, automated, environmentally and socially conscious, and sustainable through the integration of control-based and computerized building engineering systems. Are you interested in learning how to design, build, and automate these complex buildings and steer future innovations in building construction and management? This program might be right for you. The Bachelor of Engineering - Building Systems Engineering (BSE) co-op degree program explores the present and future of modern buildings and their evolving operational systems. You will learn about specialized building automation, controls, thermodynamics, fluid and heat transfer, and design building mechanical, electrical and control systems to optimize energy performance. As a BSE student, you will extensively utilize digital design and building information modelling (BIM) software and virtual tools to integrate sustainable elements, controls automation, and systems into new and existing buildings, communities and cities.
