    Difference between architecture and civil engineering:

     Here I am discussing major differences between architecture and civil engineering, they are as follows:

    1) When we talk about duration of course, then

    • Civil engineering- 4 years
    • Architecture- 5 years

    2) Responsibility:

    •  civil engineer: construction of road bridges and tunnels buildings Railway’s airport’s underpasses, etc.
    • Architect: design buildings, monuments, bridges with a more aesthetical view.

    3) Most important parameter:

    • Civil engineer: the strength of the structure is a more important aspect for civil engineer
    • Architect: an architect give more importance to an aesthetical appearance of the structure

    4) Eligibility criteria:

    • Civil engineering: HSC (physics, chemistry and maths subject) with at least 50% marks and IIT, AIEEE and other university level entrance examinations are conducted each year for the admission of civil engineering course.
    • Architecture: HSC( physics, chemistry, math) with at least 50% marks and NATA, AIEEE and other university level entrance examinations are conducted for admission to architecture course.

    5) Focused Area:

    • Civil engineering- civil engineering field is mainly dealing with the mathematical and scientific aspects of the structure. construction and design, parameters are included in civil engineering
    • Architecture- architecture deals with the down look and artistic aspect of designing a building

    Trigonometry is the best method which can be used to predict the height of the building without using equipment. But if possible than you can also ask to see the builders plan.

    Tensile test is done on cylinder because only cylinders can be held under pure tension by applying a compressive load. That will only happen if it was under pure tension. If we take any other prismatic shape such as square cross section cylinder, the failure will be via compression but not tension.
