AEI Student Design Competition
Each year, teams representing the Department of Architectural Engineering at Penn State compete in the AEI Student Design Competition, an annual design competition specifically for architectural engineering programs to highlight and showcase the value of collaboration, competition, and peer review. The competition is sponsored by the Architectural Engineering Institute of ASCE.

Awards
Since the competition’s inception in 2010, 15 teams from Penn State’s Department of Architectural Engineering have competed. Five teams have won first-place finishes in the building integration category, the highest honor awarded at the competition.
