What does a structural engineer do?
 Structural Engineering:
Civil Engineering or Architectural 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.
If your career will focus only on buildings,
Architectural Engineering is likely the
better choice. If you career will focus on
designs other than building, Civil
Engineering is the better choice.
