This questions has probably been answered before on this board: is civil engineering(structural) very different from architectural engineering?
Architectural engineering focuses on buildings, and is multidisciplinary, including structural, electrical, plumbing and hvac, fire protection, etc. Civil covers buildings and bridges as well as infrastructure, roads, etc.
my daughter recently completed a BS in architectural engineering and a masters in structural engineering. She is working for a structural engineering firm. She also did a couple of architectural engineering internships prior to adding the structural masters, that focused more on the electrical and lighting side of things.
She recently took the PE exam in civil engineering/structural.
Thank you! May I ask which colleges did your daughter attend for undergrad and graduate school?
