 Show I am a high school who is looking to pursue a degree in either architecture or civil engineering, however, I can't decide between the two. I would love if some architects of civil engineers could speak up and shed some clarity on the distinction between the two. My main questions are: What are the biggest differences/similarities in the job responsibilities of the two careers? What different or similar skill sets are necessary for each field? Would a successful architect make a successful civil engineer or visa-versa? Thanks in advance, I really appreciate any input. What are the key differences between architects and engineers? Trying to decide on the right profession can be tough. Although architects and engineers perform many parallel functions, there are many differences between the two disciplines. Some may debate the merits of each field of study, but in the end, some people are simply better at one than the other. Understanding the differences between engineering and architecture can help you determine which program nurtures your passion. For example, an architect is focused on designing and construction the form space, and ambiance of buildings and other physical environments, whereas, engineers ensure that the design will work by applying scientific principles. To become a licensed architect, one must pass the Architect Registration Examination (ARE). Engineers, depending on their specialization, may be required to obtain a professional engineer’s license. Our infographic showcases the underlying differences between architecture and engineering career paths, as well as the specializations in which students can study or practice. Which field is right for you? Check out our architecture vs. engineering infographic below:

Assuming the degree is both ABET and NAAB accredited, you can get both licenses. My Dad had both from OSU (where I went too but didn't get the AE degree). Basically, with that degree, you could do the internship and take both exams getting dual licenses becoming a licensed architect and structural engineer.
Is a civil engineer an architect?Civil engineers manage a broader range of projects encompassing transportation infrastructure and water systems, while architects focus on buildings. Architects are more deeply involved in the pre-construction phases, while civil engineers directly oversee all phases of construction work.
Which is best civil or architect?Civil Engineering is much broader than Architecture and deals with the design, planning, and construction of buildings, roads, bridges, dams, tunnels, and other infrastructure projects. Civil engineers are involved in all the construction phases (designing, planning, overseeing the construction process).
