CONSTRUCTION ENGINEERING FOR THE NEXT MILLENIUM
http://www.ziesel.at/bauten-ephesos-1.htm
Construction engineering concerns the planning and management of the construction of structures such as highways, bridges, airports, railroads, buildings, dams, and reservoirs. Construction of such projects requires knowledge of engineering and management principles and business procedures, economics, and human behavior. Construction engineers engage in the design of temporary structures, quality assurance and quality control, building and site layout surveys, on site material testing, concrete mix design, cost estimating, planning and scheduling, safety engineering, materials procurement, and cost engineering and budgeting.

structural engineering
Baukunst is architecture. Ingenieurbau is structural engineering.
Structural engineering has existed since humans first started to construct their own structures. It became a more defined and formalised profession with the emergence of the architecture profession as distinct from the engineering profession during the industrial revolution in the late 19th Century. Until then, the architect and the structural engineer were usually one and the same - the master builder. Only with the development of specialised knowledge of structural theories that emerged during the 19th and early 20th centuries did the professional structural engineer come into existence.

architectural engineering
... spectacular examples of architectural engineering ...
It depends on the context: If the structures are limited to bridges, etc., then Kim's and Jennifer's answers are just as adequate as mine. However, I understood the term as refering to include buildings with an aesthetic that highlights their engineering. In this case, my term seems to convey more information.

Example sentence:
Architectural engineers apply engineering principles to the construction, planning, and design of buildings and other structures.
