What does your group do?
The Architectural Engineering Institute (AEI) at the University of Kansas is a student organization that brings together students interested in architectural engineering, design, construction, and the built environment. Our organization provides opportunities to connect with fellow students, industry professionals, alumni, and faculty while exploring careers and experiences within the industry.
AEI hosts biweekly meetings and events designed to support members’ professional and personal growth while creating opportunities to build meaningful connections. Through networking events, professional development, industry speakers, site visits, social events, and hands-on experiences, members gain valuable insight into the architectural engineering and construction industries beyond the classroom.
Who are your members?
All Architectural Engineering students as well as anyone interested in the field are welcome to join! Whether you are interested in structural engineering, building systems, construction, architecture, or the many disciplines that shape the built environment, AEI provides a community where students can learn, connect, grow, and prepare for their future careers.
