When filling out the college entrance examination, there are always many parents and students who are prone to confuse the two majors of civil engineering and architecture, but in fact, these two majors are very different.
First, the category is different
Although both awarded Bachelor of Engineering, , civil engineering belongs to the civil engineering category under the major category of Engineering , and architecture belongs to the major category of ;
Second, the two are different definitions
Civil engineering refers to all infrastructure construction, construction and maintenance related to water, soil and culture; while architecture refers to the discipline of studying the built environment, which more refers to the combination of art and technology related to architectural design and construction, and is a discipline that spans engineering technology and humanities.
Third, the course system is different
Civil engineering courses are mainly related to mechanics, building structures, engineering projects, and architecture mainly involves architectural design, environment and space and architectural construction drawings. Simply put, architecture determines what a house is like, while civil engineering determines how to build a house.
Fourth, the employment direction is all different
Graduates of architecture are mainly engaged in architectural design, planning and management, and can work in major design institutes; civil engineering graduates are mainly engaged in design, budgeting, construction supervision and other work, and are mostly on construction sites. As the public knows, China Railway No. 5 Construction is a relatively important employment unit.
represents colleges and universities
. There are many colleges and universities that offer these two majors. Here I will introduce some more famous schools.
is known as the New Fourth Army of Architecture: Nanjing University , Zhejiang University , Hunan University and Shenyang University of Architecture
is known as the old eight schools of architecture: Tsinghua University , Southeast University , Tianjin University , Tongji University , South China University of Technology , Xi'an University of Architecture . There are also Harbin University of Architecture , Chongqing University of Architecture, and the latter two are merged into Harbin University of Technology and Chongqing University of Architecture respectively.
These schools have good civil engineering majors, among which Tsinghua , Tongji, and Southeast are very strong civil engineering. Many famous construction projects in China are from them. For example, , Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge , chief engineer Lin Ming , graduated from Southeast University.
