The Architectural Engineering Institute (AEI), in partnership with the University of Oklahoma (OU), is pleased to announce the 7th Biennial Professional Conference for 2017. The theme of the conference is the “Resilience of the Integrated Building: A Community Focus.” The conference offers an opportunity for members of the building construction industry, including structural, mechanical, and electrical engineers, construction management professionals and architects, to learn about and discuss advanced strategies and state-of-the-art practices of building technology.

The conference will feature presentations on building integration, as well as the latest technology in the many areas of the building design, construction, and maintenance. The conference offers a balance between academics, practitioners, and students through presentations, panel discussions, workshops, technical paper sessions, invited and keynote presentations, and local tours of technical interest.

Industry professionals will benefit from presentations by experts in the fields of structural, mechanical, and electrical design and construction management as they relate to integrated building systems. Members of academia will benefit from presentations on current research initiatives and opportunities to network with practitioners. Students will benefit from interacting with industry professionals and peers from universities other than their own.
