Am really confuse, all my life have never considered any other profession other than anything engineering because I love developing things from the scratch I.e I like to construct things like cars,planes, houses with waste materials, But with recent development, I discovered that I have a calling in architecture. but then I also discover that architects only design and go home but civil engineers are involved in every bit of the construction, and that is what I love doing; getting involved in every bit of the job.

Finally with the income aspect of it in nigeria which is more likely to end more or has more job opportunities.

Have u got Admission in both Civil Eng'g and Architecture that you are confused about which one to choose If Yes. Go for Architecture, if No , Apply Both and Pray fervently... thank me later...!

Why dont you do architectural engineering?

kilokeys:
op.. with architecture, ur designs are mainly on paper

civil... u get to understand strength of materials better, still do ur drawings and supervise ur technologists and technicians in building it.


choose ur choice

Actually no. His designs are not just on paper. If you have no idea of architecture of civil engineering pls just pass by rather than giving silly advices.

architects also do a bit of strength of materials when it comes to structures. But civil engineers are not tied to structures alone

Are you a bastard I graduated from university of Jos in 2013, I'm done serving (NYSC) in Nasarawa state 2014/2015. [s]You're a big fool for such a stupid question, a big big fool [/s]
All these small kids for Nairaland sef

okay lemme make another guess...
You probably studied music or one of them inconsequential courses ba?

You're very stupid, it's your illiterate father that studied an inconsequential course

It's your prostitute mother that studied rubbish in the university
If you want me to come down to your level, I'm more than ready

Useless slowpoke

Karence:
civil engineering is a much better choice for you

How did you come about that conclusion?

Civil engineering will almost certainly present him/her with a good chance of securing a job on graduation compared to architecture

Demmzy15:
Please go for Civil Engineering, you'll be taught partly architecture+engineering. Even in construction sites, Civil Engineers have upper hands to architects,they control things brahh. You'll know more than architects on their own field.

Not true oga. Have you heard of professional fees of professionals in the building construction industry? The architect is the head if the industry and takes a higher percentage than any professional

redcliff:

Some people don't understand these things and will not keep quiet. I argued with a guy recently who said architects just draw, engineers build. And I wonder, did great architects like wright and ghery become great by just drawing?

redcliff:

Architectural engineering focuses basically on building services and not on the building structure

have prayed nd all I keep getting is architecture but my passion is civil engineering

Most civil engineers are well ground in arch.,

Architects do NOT just "design and go home". In fact, they're the first ones in and last ones out. You should do some research and understand the modus operandi of an architect. What he does includes but is not limited to: generation of a design brief, development of schedules of accommodation, concept development and production of preliminary designs, site analysis, feasibility studies, production of working drawings, facilitation of tender process and selection of sellers/contractors, handing over the construction site from client to contractor, approving setting out, site supervision to ensure no structural elements compromise the design (sometimes the impact of columns are only appreciated on site), facilitating the relationship between other consultants, contractors, client and third party; conflict resolution, orchestrating progress to ensure each section happens at the appropriate time; managing variations; scope verification; issuing and endorsing instructions; ascertaining practical completion; conducting site meetings; reviewing the QS' valuations and raising payment certificates; handing over completed building; monitoring defects during the defects liability period...

The Architect is the busiest consultant during construction. The structural guys have little to do after roofing, the services engineers come in fully after roofing provided the ducts and sleeves are in place. The quantity surveyors are always relevant but not on site until valuations are needed about once a month.

naijainfogalery:
They are almost the same thing just that one seems to be in the office and one is strictly on the field,. But i think architecture is still embedded in civil cos if you dont understand the the drawing u cant build it

So if u like field work go for civil but if you like office things then go for architecture.


But for me i would go for civil engineering it gets your hand dirty and allows u know more about architecture than even architects

So architects stay in the office? Come in guys! Who is the consultant architect then?

ADAMUdaCOWBOY:

Well he is probably wrong.. the aec industry has become so integrated that architects these days own the buildings. With the wider use of bim and its technologies, its hard for an architects work to just end at the drawing. They are so relevnt even down to operations and maintenace phase

Bro, go for Architecture or Quantity Surveying, am a QS

As a graduate of Architecture and Building. If I am to advise u, I will say go for civil engineering instead. Civil engineering is broader and not as streamline as architecture. As a civil engineer u are trained to be a structural engineer, steel design engineer, environmental and soil engineer, construction engineer. , you get to use lot of softwares like the architect as well e.g. auto cad, archi cad. If u go to a very good school and finish with a first class, your chances of entering an oil firm is high with civil engineering. To me Architecture is a good course but Civil engineering is better. ......from a guy that has first class info about the 2 courses.

My level, oops that will surely be a long term ambition that's almost certainly going to fail evident by the amount of trash you spew all over the place

Why don't you just save your family some dignity that's if you have any iota of shame left in you. So what did you study at uni Jos?

Well,I will advice you to follow your passion but let me still point out this points to you
1. Civil Engineering is much more versatile compared to architecture,the truth is the architect is the team leader in a BUILDING CONSTRUCTION, but without you a STRUCTURAL ENGINEER( a branch of civil eng),the architect is all but a dreamer
2• There are other branches of civil eng ( transport eng,Geoinformatics,structure,geothecnical,hydraulics,water resources,Environmental and it goes on), so u av a wide variety of options
3• You will be taught rudiments of architecture in school and with that knowledge u can use any architectural software( autocad,chief architect,revit architecture,tesla BIM etc)
4• And with civil engineering u can easily switch into any oda engineering profession because u get to do more courses dan any engineering student and u will do all other departmental courses more detailed( that's why they call civil eng the mother of all engineering and why some folks refer civil eng to be evil engineering),that means u av to be hardworking to come out with good grades
5• Dere is a disparity in construction feilds,civil engineers hold managerial position more than architects, though I can't say why but it is the truth
6• Any one u choose,make sure u re well grounded with the praticals in the field and that can distinguish you better...Engineers also work in offices that depends on ur role wen u start working

follow ur passion and not ur heart coz sometimes your heart may deceive you. Also,ask God for direction

Dude Bleep off
You should have asked me what I studied earlier and not insult me by insinuating that I am a secondary school student

Why dont you do architectural engineering?

thanks a lot I was thinking of something similar, pls shed more light about this course

[b]Architecture! Architecture!! Architecture!!!

WHY ? Architecture is the best professional course you can ever study. Architects are the Second God because we create what we conceive !

WHICH COURSE IS LIKE UNTO THEE,
ARCHITECTURE? In school they see us
as the most hard working, simply because
ARCHITECTURE keeps us up most
nights. After school, while graduates of other professions
chase
after job vacancies, we tell Job Vacancies how much we
wish to be paid
if they want us to work for them, just because we are
ARCHITECTS. 1st
class? 2nd class? They are all brilliant. But an
ARCHITECT with a Pass
degree will keep you & your wife as staff in his office,
and on salary
- just because he is an ARCHITECTS. Even if we wish
not to work with
anybody, the jobs come right down to our door steps,
just because we
are ARCHITECTS. And while sitting at home, we make
an average of
100,000naira monthly because we are ARCHITECTS,
you think that's
simple? Then resign from your job and try sitting at
home for 4 days
if you ain't one; call me on phone when you've got
airtime. We can
even make an average of 30-40,000naira every 6days
by simply teaching
people softwares we know in ARCHITECTURE or being
involved in
architectural visualization, just because we are
ARCHITECTS. And for
simply scrambling a collection of lines on paper (which
70% of the
world's professors cannot interpret/read), we get paid;
just because
we are ARCHITECTS. We determine if your hometown/
village will find
development, just because we are ARCHITECTS. Those
skyscrapers and
famous buildings you have promised yourself to visit
before you die,
we built them, because we are ARCHITECTS. For
showing you what your
dream house will look like, we get paid even if you
eventually don't
afford to build it, simply because we are ARCHITECTS.
We do not need
CNN and the NTA Network News to tell people what we
do, every single
house we've designed does all the talking, because we are
ARCHITECTS.
The only profession where you work less (literally,
because you
dictate when to work) but earn more -
ARCHITECTURE. The only
profession that allows you to begin your day by 11am
every single day
but earn more than those who work 29hours (+5 ghost
hours) a day.

Story for d gods... Haven't u seen 1st clss graduate roaming around d street of lagos looking for evenn 50k job OP talk say u want make topic and u want make ppl comment n quote u. Go back and read ur own statement n confession, read it like its sb other than u that wrote it u will find ur answers in it simple I don't have any other advice for u.
No be watin u read matter guy, its what can u do out of the knowledge u've acquired that matters ok.
