Palestine Polytechnic University

The Department of Architectural Engineering at Palestine Polytechnic University specializes in the art and science of engineering and construction related to designing and building structures. Graduates are trained to design and implement architectural projects for various types of buildings, including residential, commercial, and industrial structures, as well as planning cities, suburbs, and landscaping. Launched in 2003, the program aims to prepare architects who positively impact the local community through distinguished designs and implementation. It addresses regional challenges like preserving Palestinian identity by equipping architects with skills to restore and protect existing structures. A key focus is direct user interaction, ensuring designs prioritize comfort, ventilation, lighting, and sound for optimal user satisfaction.
