The two major area of specialization in Engineering is the Civil and structural engineering, The two are major engineering disciplines, The Difference Between Civil Engineering Vs Structural Engineering is not much.

This engineering disciplines is concerned with designing, evaluation, preservation and construction of elements. Moreover, difference between civil engineering and structural engineering is tricky.

To digest the two discipline immediately will be hard, because the task of discerning the two disciplines would be difficult before understanding the concepts behind each of the careers.

CONCEPT OF CIVIL ENGINEERING[b]


Civil Engineering is one of the oldest engineering disciplines, and Its history dates back to the ancient times when people began building shelters for themselves. Civil engineering discipline is a major course offered in almost all the universities and polytechnics all over the world today and the field of specialization includes: roads, water treatment, canals and dams.

Civil engineering that is been offered in the university has a four year full time course. when you graduate as a civil engineer, civil engineers join subdisciplines of civil engineering.

For instance, it is very rare to find a course referred to as masters in civil engineering. This disciplines of civil engineering includes: Geotechnical engineering, transportation engineering, structural engineering and environmental engineering.

WHAT IS CIVIL ENGINEERING?[/b]

The civil engineer is a professional who designs and supervises the construction of public infrastructure. The following task is been performed by the Civil engineers:

1. Creating designs that use various building materials
2. Analyzing maps, drawings and photographs to decide the direction of the project and the budget limits
3.Communicating with clients, subcontractors and architects
4. Forecasting construction time frames
5. Assessing project feasibility by evaluating design practicality
6. Collaborating with structural engineers
7. Making recommendations and present alternative solutions
8. Reviewing government regulations
9. Ensuring projects sites meet relevant codes and respect legal requirements.

STRUCTURAL ENGINEER.[b]


The Structural engineering deals with the designing, Analysis, building and maintenance of resisting or load bearing structure. The structural engineers performs the following task:

1. Analyzing each element of a structure to determine pressure and loads generated by human or environmental influence
2. Performing mathematical calculations
3. Designing a structure that resists all types of loads it is subject to
4. Creating specifications and structural models with computer-assisted design software
5. Evaluating elements configuration, alternating between analysis and design until they create a final configuration
6. Writing reports and tracking project progress
7. Inspecting construction sites and following safety guidelines
8. Collaborating with project managers and contractors
