27. STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING:
CIVIL ENGINEERING OR ARCHITECTURAL ENGINEERING?
Both Civil Engineering
and Architectural
Engineering
incorporate structural
engineering
Architectural Engineering
considers all aspects of
designing buildings
Civil Engineering
considers the structural
design of more than
buildings: e.g., buildings,
bridges, dams, electrical
and communication
towers, port facilities,
retaining walls, subways,
etc.
1. If your career will focus only
on buildings, Architectural
Engineering is likely the better
choice.
2. If you career will focus on
designs other than building,
Civil Engineering is the better
choice.
