As a twenty-first-century engineering student,you’ll learn the principles of your profession and workin an interdisciplinary environment that emphasizeshands-on learning, teamwork, and leadership.Our newly renovated John T. Rettaliata EngineeringCenter is designed specifically to encourage anintersection of ideas, featuring spaces where you andfellow students can work together to develop the nextcutting-edge idea.At Armour College we integrate innovative thought,entrepreneurship, creativity, and design withengineering theory, research, and practice. You’ll getthe chance to work on projects that are normally openonly to graduate students and to apply what you’velearned in the classroom to complex problems facingtoday’s global society.“Through my Armour R&D research project inpartnership with Professor Kevin Cassel, I havebeen able to discover my passion for innovation inrenewable energy. Designing alternatives to currentrenewable-energy systems allows me to unlockcreativity within my engineering education. IllinoisTech has given me the opportunity to craft mytechnical classes toward my love for the environment,and I am truly getting an education perfectly designedfor me.”Maddy says two projects at Illinois Tech haveintroduced her to real-world problem solving:her IPRO course, which set up an automaticirrigation system for the university’s on-campusfarm, UFarmIIT, and her Armour R&D Programproject, which focused on manipulating flow fieldsaround vertical-axis wind turbines. She is a Camrasscholar, Student Ambassador, and a member ofEngineers for a Sustainable World; the university’srock climbing club; and the campus theater group,33rd Street Productions.6 Undergraduate ProgramsBACHELOR OF SCIENCE (B.S.)

Advanced Studios and Design/BuildAdvanced Studios are a school-wide educational and research laboratory in which students from all degreeprograms work together on research and design topics related to the metropolis. Our program of visitingteachers and lecturers contributes to these projects, so you learn directly from the world’s leading architects,urban designers, landscape architects, artists, critics, and policymakers.The 2018 Design/Build project:a community pavilion in Las Carreras,Loiza, Puerto RicoSpringing from the legendary workshops of the Bauhaus, IllinoisTech’s teaching remains rooted in the connection between designand making. Today you can experience that connection in our10,000-square-foot Materials Workshop. In this inspiring industrialspace, designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, you’ll physicallyengage with a multitude of tools, materials, and techniques. InDesign/Build studios, you and your fellow students will collectivelydesign and construct full-scale buildings—fulfilling the notion of a“hands-on” education.Life experiences outside the classroom are just as important as classwork.Architecture majors find these clubs of interest to them:Experiences & Careers AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF ARCHITECTURE STUDENTS AMERICAN SOCIETY OF LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS NATIONAL ORGANIZATION OF MINORITY ARCHITECTURE STUDENTSIllinois Tech architecture grads get hired by some of the most successfularchitecture firms.

College ofArchitectureAndrew JiangThe College of Architecture teaches students how to see architecture(Architecture 5th Year)Madison, Wisconsinthrough a different lens—and how to become self-constructers whoglean knowledge from the world around them. Our B.Arch. curriculumis centered on a studio sequence of increasing complexity. You’ll studytopics from the basic building elements to the complex city itself.In addition to design, the courses include architectural history andtheory, building technologies, structures, design communication, andprofessional practice as well as a range of courses beyond architecture.A five-year, NAAB-accredited B.ARCH. degree qualifies graduates for theArchitect Registration Examination; successful completion of the AREis a prerequisite for licensure recognized by state registration boards.I will create resilient architecture through the useof transdisciplinary techniques invest my time to help communities in need call you.maybeThe college has more than 600 students from 50 countries and100-plus faculty members. Ninety-five percent of our faculty arepracticing architects.Our architecture students enjoy the benefits of learning from theirsurroundings by studying on Illinois Tech’s historic Mies Campus.S. R. Crown Hall is the home of our architecture program and aNational Historic Landmark designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe.The College of Architecture is ranked as the #15 Most AdmiredArchitecture School (undergraduate program, DesignIntelligence andArchitectural Record). Illinois Tech also offers renowned master’s andPh.D. programs in architecture. Additionally, our Master of LandscapeArchitecture program—the only accredited program of its kind inChicago and among only a few in a large North American city—allowsstudents to explore the built environment in an urban context.Undergraduate ProgramsBACHELOR OF ARCHITECTURE (B.ARCH.)In conjunction with the B.Arch. program, we offer a wide range of specializations,minors and dual degrees.Accelerated Master’s ProgramBACHELOR OF ARCHITECTURE (B.ARCH.)/MASTER OF SCIENCE IN ARCHITECTURE (M.S.
