Maccoy1: Field work as a civil engineer. Yes. We have consultant engineers and engineering contractors. The former is more of structural analysis and design and the latter is more of construction and predominantly site work. The engineer actuallises the architect's dream. However, if you would like to be a field engineer in other fields asides construction, civil engineering is the answer. It's very broad. Regards. |

As a student of Architecture, I've come to understand that Architecture is not just a course, it's an in born passion, it's not just enough to sit and criticise any course Both are interesting, follow your passion, If you have a creative Mind and love field work - Architecture If you love field work alone - Civil Engineering For those saying architects are just drafters, u need to either be with an Architect to understand what Architecture really is, we ain't just draugtmen, we are way more than that, we are demi gods living on earth, and that's what differentiate us from road side draughtmen Civil engineers are also important in an Architect's live because they work hand in hand, But to be frank, Every Architect is the sole principal of any project, right from the concept development down to the design and also until the project is completed and also during maintenance and curing So Op do whatever you love, don't be deceived 1 Like 1 Share |

Go for Architecture and back it up with a Masters degree in Urban and Regional Planning if you are good with Mathematics, Physics and love fine arts 2 Likes |

Finally with the income aspect of it in nigeria which is more likely to end more or has more job opportunities MY BRODER!!! i am an architect i will advice you to go for your mind but i prefer you go for civil engeneering because is not one sided course this is what i advised my youngest broder , whom i trained in my office to go and study civil engeneering as recent design softwares has made architecture works so simple in that any tallented individual can use those software and take architects job but it is not so easy to civil engeneers . 1 Like |

WailingWailer00: Apology accepted bro. My post was meant to be a lil banter but i guess it got misconstrued. Anyhoo, the reason for the dig was because of your minimalistic description of the two courses as i felt you should have known it covers more depth than your submission My apologies for the dig |

Maccoy1: go for building. its kind of a mid point between the two. builders are also involved in every part of construction although the designing part is not our job. but it seems ur already inclined to civil engineering tho |

Abimloaded:fellow Architect!, you need not all these points. Never stress yourself, all the interviews i have gone for, i do tell them the amount i want to be collecting. Before graduating i have designed several buildings in which i built four myself. After my Nysc my neigbours used to beef me because i will locked myself inside my appartment from morning to night with generator on. Thinking i was into yahoo yahoo. Enough said though, but back to the op, @your orientation that Architect design and go, its a CAPITAL NO!, except a learner Architect. Infact people believe Architects know better on the construction because they are the initiators and understand how design will work on ground. My advice for you is that do not study Architecture or civil eng. Because of the money involve, PLS AND PLS, IF YOU ARE NOT CREATIVE ENOUGH OR HARDWORKING do not go for Architecture. Lot of my friends left Architecture for another courses before graduating because they couldnt cope. Even the lazy ones that managed to graduated can not practice the profession. "Architecture demands your whole" i could remember i developed stomarch ulcer while in school because studio from morning to night. No time. Dont get it twisted op civil engineering is a great course too, two of my cousins and my immediate brother are civil engr. And they are doing pretty well. 4 Likes |

Bro, from experience as an architect for close to a decade, i will advise you to find both an architectural firm and a Civil engineering company that will allow you to spend a week with them. I believe this will give you the opportunity to watch and learn. Architecture is a very profitable profession but you must be passionate about it to succeed. Architects are very private people so you may not know their financial weight. I have seen very successful Engineers and Architect in this country. To the engineers that claim they do designs i believe it is just basic residential design you do, i don't think anybody will give a 5 star hotel to an engineer to design. Nobody (Town Planning) in this country will approve the drawing for a major project for construction without an architect's seal first then the engineer's stamp .If your passion is creating things and watch it come to life then architecture 'MAY' be the way. PLEASE DO NOT STUDY ARCHITECTURE BECAUSE OF THE MONEY, THE MONEY WILL COME BUT PASSION AND PATIENCE IS KEY and VERY IMPORTANT. All the best 3 Likes |

Civil Enginerring over Architecture for me.. |
Re: Pls Advise: Architecture Or Civil Engineering by zivility: 5:52pm On Sep 08, 2015 |
Civil engineering - am in the construction field and I tell u architecture is a dreamers job. They are d least useful as one design work by a single architect needs numerous professionals in execution without the need of d architect again. In addition engineering is more versatile and more flexible. To shift to any other field is easier |

Bros civil is far more better than archit. u can make one mill a week is u r the site engineer, all the materials are bought by u, sand n tipper dealers worship u, while some go as far as seducing u to buy wit dem. But if u want to be a billionaire u must be humble and learn everything from ur employer within 3-5yrs den go do MPM and bcome a project manger. As a project manager u control archit,QS,structural,mechnical, electrical,surveyors, and d rest. Go to any big govt site and look at deir post board u will see d project managers cums first and u can be handling like 3-5 at once and u knw wat dat means while archit can get 5 jobs but takes months to deliver all and some jus use old drawings and edit lol.Google more about wat i just said.Project managers/Civil Engrs is the best in any Construction. |
Re: Pls Advise: Architecture Or Civil Engineering by Xtopher123(m): 6:42pm On Sep 08, 2015 |
zivility: All lies, I've handled design projects even civil/structural engineers could not interpret not handle, they needed me to come on site to show them how they could tackle the issue It's my own style, in every design I do I put a complication so engineers would not meddle with my design All projects need and architect from the scratch to finish, if u 're not into the field please dot mislead anyone, engineers only come when needed, from structural to mechanical down to electrical the architect would still supervise all of them, he is the chief principal cause only him can interpret his design to all other professionals coming in |

ba7man: lemme tell u,d civil engineer can change the architects drawing if such drawings are structurally unattainable,...stop saying what u dont know. for d op, civil engineering is far more than building houses as this is the least part of civil engineering. architecture basically is more of an artistic course,while civil engineering has to do more with structural analysis,design and construction of anything ranging from buildings,roads,bridges,dams,stadia,mast,cofferdams to aircrafts and ships. |

arcnomec: what do u mean by design?....just hoping u mean u guys (draw),cos design has to do wit the structural eng,it his design u build with. |
Re: Pls Advise: Architecture Or Civil Engineering by Xtopher123(m): 7:00pm On Sep 08, 2015 |
asamaigho: Ure completely refereeing to an Architect that can't stand for his designs, Everything is buildable in architecture, if a civil engineer can't handle a project or alter a project because he feels it's not gonna stand then he's not worthy to be employed to work with an Architect |
Re: Pls Advise: Architecture Or Civil Engineering by Xtopher123(m): 7:03pm On Sep 08, 2015 |
asamaigho: U don't understand the terms in construction field that's why u can ascertain what he meant, Arhitects design and build, they're involved in every design process, Cars, buildings, bridges, phones , oil rigs, name it even shoes too yes they are involved |
Re: Pls Advise: Architecture Or Civil Engineering by calcal: 7:09pm On Sep 08, 2015 |
Consider your old age, that architect will be better, you design in the office other do the job you are still owner of the projects. without design no construction. use your brain and not physical power. |
Re: Pls Advise: Architecture Or Civil Engineering by DedeNkem: 7:24pm On Sep 08, 2015 |
Both are great. Do both if you can. |
Re: Pls Advise: Architecture Or Civil Engineering by asamaigho(m): 7:25pm On Sep 08, 2015 |
Xtopher123: u are very far from knowledge of civil engineering,wen it come to bridges and dams,oil rigs and roads.....architects are virtually not on d list . besides a civil engineer makes an architect look like a learner,there is virtually nothing in architecture dat is new to a civil engineer....... |
