Our HISTORY
The formation of Architectural Engineering Institute is unusual and fascinating. AEI consists of two spheres of influence that have joined ranks for the better good of the building engineering: academia and industry. Capitalizing on the strengths of both student and professional membership the institute has broad appeal nationwide.
The unusual union of the Architectural Engineering Division (AED) of ASCE and the National Society of Architectural Engineering (NSAE) gave birth to the Architectural Engineering Institute (AEI). 16 years after the birth of AEI, the institute is growing, as it builds on the strength of its founding fathers and predecessors. The following narrative provides a brief overview of how AEI came into existence.
In 2025, Miami-Dade established its branch of the Architectural Engineering Institute.
