When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Architectural engineers apply the skills of many engineering disciplines to the design, construction, operation, maintenance and renovation of buildings while paying attention to their impacts on the surrounding environment. In countries such as Canada, the UK and Australia, architectural engineering is more commonly known as Building Engineering. In some languages, "architect" is literally translated as "architectural engineer".

: but your answer, instead of s.b., should be "design, construction, operation, maintenance and renovation of buildings" for furture searches of the KudoZ Open Glossary.

: They bring engineering disciplines to compliment the architect's work.Nancy's comment is incorrect./That's the point,I am an architect,but the arch. engineers are not./In English & at the Tokyo 'Faculty of Engineering' it's a safe bet:engineer, not arch.

Thank you for your important opinion. Regardind degree equivalences, it is often difficult to find the exact match. In some countries there are "all-inclusive careers" where you become a sort of Architect+Building Engineer+Urbanist+etc. at the same time..

Ingenieria arquitectonica
building engineering
Architectural engineering is to the structural, mechanical, electrical and construction engineering part of the building. So if you like, the "architectural engineer" is a collective noun for the structural engineer, mech. eng. etc. in the building industry.
The architect designs the building, gives it form, works out the functions, decides the materials, draws up the details, makes sure that it can be built, and uses the services of the structural engineer to advise about, detail and calculate the structure, the mechanical eng. to work out the services, etc.

The fact, that it is being taught by the Faculty of Engineering, also underlines the difference. Architects would be taught at the Faculty of Architecture.

Architects design buildings to meet people's spatial, organizational, and aesthetic needs; they also coordinate the building design process. After earning a bachelor of architecture degree, graduates become registered architects by completing the required work experience and state licensing examinations.
Architectural Engineers specialize in the design of engineering systems within buildings. Architectural Engineers earn bachelor of science degrees and become professional engineers with the required experience and state examinations.

Architectural Engineers design the internal structures, ventilation and environmental systems, acoustical, lighting, electrical, and plumbing systems of building structures. http://www.ae.unomaha.edu/career.html
