What is the difference between a engineer and a architecture?

Answer 1

An architect is responsible for managing overall design of a building used primarily by persons, with primary emphasis on space planning and appearance. The architect should know enough about engineering to be able to discuss and understand the problems and solutions involved in engineering. For the type of building projects where an architect is required, engineers will tend to work for the architect.

An architect is not an engineer. Architects providing services to the public must be licensed by the governing authority (a state in US).

In general, engineering involves the application of scientific principles to solve practical problems.

An engineer is not a scientist.

A "professional engineer" ("PE") is licensed by the governing authority (a state in the US) to practice engineering.

Engineers use mathematics much more than architects. Some engineers use higher mathematics constantly. Engineers also tend to use software much more than architects, althogh architects use CAD programs extensively.

Answer 2

Architecture usually focuses in the aesthetic design. Universities usually have their architecture programs in the college of arts. They worry about the looks and how comfortable it is for the people who are going to inhabit or build.

Civil engineering focuses on the technical aspects of the building. They have the immense legal responsibility of ensuring the structural integrity of the building. CE is a harder major than architecture as it needs more math and physics classes.

The average civil engineer makes about $20,000 more than the average architect. However, some architects can make much more since their designs create a reputation on them (think of them as artists).

In other words, architects use creativity to dream the design and civil engineers use math and physics to make it possible.

BTW, civil engineers can also concentrate on other type of designs besides structures, such as bridges, roads, pipeline systems, etc.

Answer 3

Architecture engineering is all about Architecture science including the Architecture design dealing with the space and making the best calculations &solutions to fit the private or/and the general benefits, dealing with customers, many things to study.

Architecture designing is just about making design of something considering the ready programs which comes from the architect engineer.

Answer 4

An Engineer typically has a college degree in a specialty such as Civil, Structural, Mechanical or Electrical. Often they will have obtained a license to practice their craft in their particular state. An Architect typically has a college degree (Bachelor of Architecture) and is trained and licensed to design buildings.

Hope this helps!

Answer 5

Architecture is the subject of building as both functional systems and artistic expressions. Architectural engineering is the use of enginnering within architectural means aka for the use of building design and construction.

Answer 6

Civil engineering and architecture are very similar
