Should I choose Civil Eng or Arch Eng?
I have recently received an offer from UW for Arch Eng and it was recommended to me by my friend since they saw my creativity and drawing/designing skills, yet I am still pretty strong in STEM and enjoy it, so civil is definitely a good option, I also have other options for civil Eng at other unis so im not stuck with only arch Eng. My goal for a future career path is to hopefully focus on construction, design, and structure engineering, as well as having my own construction business. I have done further research into both fields; civil and arch Eng and have seen that civil focuses on the structural aspect of the building and arch Eng focuses on the design and construction of the building systems. So can arch Engineers still do construction and structural components of the building? And are there even any jobs that will have such a field? Or is civil the only way to go. I am definitely leaning more towards arch Eng specifically for the design components in brings but I’m very worried I am closing the doors on construction management, and structure engineering if I go that route as well as if the job prospects are worse for arch Eng. I also understand that if I chose arch Eng it would definitely make me unqualified for transportation and water engineering which was never really my goal, and so I am okay with that. Any advice would be appreciated, thank you🙏
