Difference between Architecture and Civil Engineering

Advertisements

Architecture and Civil Engineering is concerned with the process of designing and creation of buildings, house etc. As to be very precise, architects are professionals who mostly deal with the visualization, drawings and blueprints of a building. They are more into space utilization. As for a civil engineer, direct field job is required. He has to go to the construction site and make available and supervise the entire work.

Architecture Engineering courses and its scope

Architecture is for the most part putting into practice of different designs for new structures with an artistic point of view. An Architect is a person who conceptualizes these drawings and provides a practical and functional design as to make the structure a reality. Architects have the basic knowledge of structural technicalities. The architecture engineering teaches candidates different materials, technology and techniques which are necessary to construct the building. To become an architect a candidate needs to do Bachelors in Architecture (B. Arch).

To practice a degree course in architecture, candidates need to qualify in examinations like NATA, AIEEE or other university level entrance exams. Masters degree course are also available in this the field of architecture. For practicing architecture as a profession, a candidate needs to register with the Council of Architecture.

Civil Engineering courses and its scope

Civil engineering is one of the oldest professions in the field of engineering. It involves planning, designing, and implementing of structural works. Civil Engineering deals with design, construction and maintenance and mathematical aspects of naturally built and man-made structures. To become a civil engineer a student has to go through B.Tech in civil engineering.

The Bachelors course is of 4 year duration. There are many entrance exams which one has to qualify for joining these courses. They are IIT JEE, AIEEE and other university level entrance examinations. There are huge job opportunities for civil engineers in private and government undertakings. After completing B.Tech students can go for M.Tech and get their specialization in structural engineering, hydraulics and transportation engineering.

Key Differentiators

Architecture is the imagination of designs of building, in the mean time Civil engineering focus on originality and practicality of that design. The Civil Engineers, to a certain extent deliberate and arrange the tactics to construct the design. Architects need the help of engineers who formulate the designs and the Civil engineers needs the guidance from architects on the outlines and dimensions. A good engineer-architect association is very important to have a well-organized, superiority project result.
