Welcome to Department of Architectural Engineering (DAE)!
Architectural Engineering plays an important role in economic development in a society. Architectural project includes the design of buildings, roads, bridges and landscapes, both locally and globally. Architectural Engineering consists of Architecture, Engineering and urban planning from small scales to large scales. Great architecture, engineering and urban planning may mean a more developed country!
Today’s rapid development in Cambodia towards sustainable society is unavoidably needs architects and engineers.
Therefore, GAR program in Cambodia and is created so far for about 10 years at the Institute of Technology of Cambodia (ITC) to respond to the increasing demand of human resources in architecture, engineering and urban planning needs. GAR aims to produce qualified architects and engineers in the fields of architecture (Planning, surveying, renovation and design) and engineering (calculation and construction).
ABOUT GAR (DAE) PROGRAM
GAR (DAE) is a 5-year architectural engineering program.
Students who passed the ITC entrance exam will spend their first 2-year in the
foundation years, known as Tronc Commun (in French language). At Tronc Commun, students will study general courses including math, physic, chemistry, introduction to programming, introduction to technical drawing, English, French, introduction to marketing, introduction to management, philosophy, Khmer history and administration.
Starting from the third year, students will select their preferable major/department at Faculty of Civil Engineering; and take courses based on their major. If you select GAR (DAE) program, you will study architectural engineering courses related to architecture, civil engineering, urban planning and construction management.
