<p>Which UC is better for civil/strutural engineering and what is the difference between civil and structural engineering? Any help would be appreciated.</p>
<p>These are the majors that I was accepted for at each college:</p>
<p>UCSD: Structural Engineering
<p>
Structural engineering is a specialized disipline under civil engineering. My civil engineering firm has 3 depts., building(structural), wastewater, and civil. Civil deals with overall project layouts; building locations, parking lots, storm drains, utility conections ect. The building department designs buildings and somtimes bridges. Hope this helps a little.
<p>All, or most, graduates study civil engineering at degree level as there is no structural engineering equivalent. As part of the civil engineering degree students study structural analysis and design. It is these two subjects which structural engineers specialise in after graduation. Civil engineering courses cover a very wide range of topics including higher mathematics, geotechnics, hydraulics, materials science, construction management, sustainability and environmental studies as well as the structural subjects. </p>
<p>After graduation engineers generally train to become chartered in either civil or structural engineering. Both qualifications are recognised by the Engineering Council. </p>

<p>Yes but UCSD doesn’t offer civil engineering they only offer structural engineering. I tought that structural engineering is a specialty within civil engineering, so what i dont get is how can you become a structural engineer without first becoming a civil engineer at UCSD?</p>
