The areas of focus in the program are structural, geotechnical, environmental, construction, water resources, transportation and architectural engineering. Good choices would be Mandarin, Spanish, or Hindi.The Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering provides students with the educational background and tools required for them to excel in their intended profession in civil engineering. One other alternative: If you are really passionate about civil engineering, I would suggest picking up a second language that will allow you to market yourself as an interface point between the remaining domestic PE's who will seal the work and the "high value," teams. Well, a job in the USA anyway, looks like the "high value," countries will have a lot of openings. I would really hate to be a new grad trying to get a job in 3 or 4 years. I think I'll be fine, but I'm hopefully only 20 years from retirement and I'll hopefully be moving more into management and less into production. In real terms this means that impending plans for at least one EIT and 3 or 4 designers were "indefinitely postponed." This is literally sending those jobs overseas. We recently had a meeting where we were informed that a mandatory percentage of all work this upcoming year MUST be sent to our "high value engineering centers," overseas. To reinforce this, I am currently a manager for an ENR top 25 design firm. The reason is, I see so much work being outsourced, and domestic positions are either being eliminated or the salaries are dropping. When my family asks me for advice in choosing between CE and almost any other field of engineering, I reccomend they pass on CE. I'm not sure if it was mentioned, but construction engineering is also a good degree to consider if construction mgmt peaks your interest.
#Architectural engineering vs civil engineering free#
Feel free to PM me if you have any questions related to civil engineering. I don't know any civils that had that issue. I live in the Midwest and have known plenty of architects and AE's that struggled to initially find work after graduating. My understanding is that civils probably make the lowest salary out of school but they also have the highest employment rate. Theres definitely some overlap in some of the courses that architects architectural engineers take. AE is technically a four year engineering degree where you take architecture classes but also some MEP, structural, and construction mgmt courses as well. The first couple of years of this program are pretty tough but can pay off if building architecture is your true passion. Architecture is typically a 5 year degree through the design school, not math/sciences. A civil engineering degree is versatile because you could go into any of the following: environmental (deals with water resources, wastewater treatment, drinking water treatment, air pollution, landfill design, etc), geotechnical (soils engineering), structural (building design, bridge design, etc.), transportation (highway/road design, traffic engineering, asset mgmt, etc.), site development, OR construction management. Some of the other replys in this post are pretty one-sided and disingenuous at best. Both architecture and AE degrees only deal with building design. Not correct, AE could get pigeonholed into doing MEP or other building design work. I did structural so I had to take more structural courses (advanced structural analysis, concrete II, steel II, masonry design, prestressed concrete design. When you get to the last year or so you will focus on specific area. You will also be in general engineering science classes with other engineering students (statics, strength, circuits, fluids. You will share few classes with civil (concrete, steel, analysis, foundation. You will share many classes with Architecture major such as design studios and building systems to get you to understand the “language” of the architect. For example, if you specialize in Structures you will become structural engineer, which overlap with Civil Engineering. Many AE programs will require you specialize in one of these areas before graduating.
AE specialize in buildings engineering systems such as structural design, HVAC systems, electrical systems, and construction management. AE is relatively new major (100 years ago) and it emerged as buildings became more complex.
