B Arch vs Btech in civil engineering

[vkash]

what is difference in these two things..
as i know both are realated to building construction>>but
An architect is more concerned about beauty but civil engineer is give more emphasis on construction.
am i correct?

is there no architecture in this forum??>>

Since I'm from visual arts field I can try to answer this one.

Don't know about US but in Europe Arch is strongly connected with fine arts. In my country you need to pass entrance exam which is: drawing a model, drawing a still life and ofc an architectural drawing. You need to have A-levels in math and physics too.

Arch degree is a mix of fine arts courses like drawing, painting, photography, sculpture, typical civil eng courses like materials, structures and mechanics and typical design courses like architectural design or urban design.

Civil Engineering degree is a mix of science courses like math, physics and chemistry, cilv eng courses like materials, structures and mechanics (but you have it much more than in arch) and geo, hydro, thermo and soil stuff. You have also many technical drawing courses.

Both degress are heavy on "bureaucracy" courses.

So more or less an architect is a designer - someone who comes up with nice looking and functional building and civil engineer is.. an engineer - someone who ensures that architect's design will be build properly - useing proper materials, proper construction etc.

Hope that helps.

very very thanks rika.
it helps me a lot...

I would say that both B Arch and Btech in civil engineering are important fields in the construction industry. While they may have some similarities, they also have distinct differences in terms of their focus and skill sets.

A Bachelor of Architecture (B Arch) program typically focuses on the design and aesthetic aspects of building construction. Architects are responsible for creating functional, safe, and visually appealing structures that meet the needs of their clients. They use their knowledge of design principles, materials, and building codes to create innovative and sustainable designs.

On the other hand, a Bachelor of Technology (Btech) in civil engineering program focuses on the technical and practical aspects of building construction. Civil engineers are responsible for the planning, design, and construction of infrastructure projects such as roads, bridges, and buildings. They use their knowledge of mathematics, physics, and engineering principles to ensure that structures are safe, durable, and cost-effective.

While both architects and civil engineers play important roles in the construction industry, their areas of expertise and responsibilities may differ. Architects may focus more on the aesthetic aspects of a structure, while civil engineers may focus more on the technical aspects. However, both professionals work closely together to ensure that a building or structure is not only visually appealing but also structurally sound.

In conclusion, both B Arch and Btech in civil engineering are valuable degrees that provide essential skills and knowledge for the construction industry. The difference lies in their focus and expertise, with architects focusing more on design and civil engineers focusing more on the technical aspects of construction.
