May you advise me on how to be more laid back to be an architectural engineer. ?
I want to be more laid back and want to know how to be an architect
What major for interests in sustainable/alternative/nuclear power engineering/generation, sustainable urban planning, architecture, research, material science, civil infrastructure...?
Hello! I am a high school senior trying to apply to colleges and figure out my major, but I feel very indecisive. I'd like to have opportunities to research and develop new technologies and alternative energies!! Maybe even in a nuclear plant!? And also solutions to dealing with nuclear waste and stuff like that. I want to design efficient and environmentally friendly solutions to energy problems. As well as implementing electrical power systems in the world as well. And of course, chemistry is super interesting I've also been creative my whole life, and growing up in a plain city, I really love looking at and, on rare occasions, visiting places with interesting, beautiful, and tall buildings, as well as appreciating inviting designs that promote sustainability and walkability and I would love to contribute to a more beautiful world in this way as well. So maybe architecture/architectural engineering would be good for me? I also am really excited about civil engineering labs (I hear you get to build stuff? Cool!!) I also have an interest in getting into the nitty-gritty of situations and hashing out the details as well as the big picture. On an unrelated note, I've also had an interest in videogame design + programming, graphic design, and animation my whole life. Are there any good colleges with clubs like this where I can grow my skills in these areas, but still focus on engineering and do well? Is there any other factors I should consider when picking a major? Or anything else I could look into to get to know myself a bit more and see what I really prefer? Any options to somehow do everything I just listed?? Also I am learning about hydraulic engineering and I really like the sound of it a LOT but AHHHH there's so much and ofc transportation but mostly you already know the rest of the stuff I wrote.. I know most of this points to maybe like Civil Engineering with a minor in Electrical Engineering and a concentration in Structural engineering,, but I really am going to be sad forever that I won't be a physicist or a energy engineer or a researcher or a hydraulic engineer or a nuclear engineer... Maybe I could do architecture in the future but yeah 😭😭 Also I really wanted to do physics for a while could I start my education all over again when I'm older and have a career and do research
What interest should you have if you want to be an architectural engineer?
Hobbies, personality, behavior, preferred work environment, education, and salary depending where you live.
Which is better, Civil Engineering or Architectural Engineering?
For someone who has a great interest in art, physics, and math. #civil-engineering #engineer #Architectural-Engineering #architect #architecture #engineering
Should I switch from Mech E to Architectural Engineering?
I am currently a sophomore in Mechanical Engineering, but I find myself more interested in Architectural Engineering. Some people have told me that Architectural Engineering is more narrow as a field and that it's not worth switching into, but I'm not sure what to do. Should I change my major? If not, is there another way for me to get a job in Architectural Engineering? I am in Texas, by the way. #engineering #engineer #architecture #mechanical-engineering #architectural-engineering #technology #career #college #job

I am interested in Architectural Engineering. I have been told that getting my Master's Degree will require 6 years of schooling - is this true? Or do I only need the standard 5 years?
I would like to earn my master's in Architectural Engineering, thus I need to know how many years of schooling I am required to take. Hopefully, money earned through scholarship programs will assist in paying for additional years of schooling. #architecture #architectural-engineering #college-advice
What are some clubs or activities you would recommend for college experience if I want to be an engineer?
Wondering which extracurricular activities might look best on a resume once I graduate college for an engineering career. #engineering #mechanical-engineering #civil-engineering #architecture #structural-engineering #architectural-engineering
I am having a hard time deciding between architectural engineering and civil engineering.
Can you say some pros and cons of each? #civil-engineering #architecture #architectural-engineering
What do you wish you knew at my age? What would help me achieve what you couldn't achieve?
I am looking into engineering department (specifically into civil engineering). I would like to know things other people knew at my age so that I may not make the same mistakes others may have made in their career. #civil-engineering #architectural-engineering
To what extent does engineering background required you to be skilled in the analysis of technical reports or information?
I am ambitious senior in high school who wants to explore the opportunities that is available for me to grab onto. I want/need to know how skilled i need to be to pursue the goal I have. #mechanical-engineering #civil-engineering #architecture #architectural-engineering
What are the similarites and differences between civil engineering, architecture, and architectural engineering?
Hello, I'm currently a civil engineering student at the University of Dayton. I'm in a sort of dilemma where, like any other college student, am unsure of where I want to go degree-wise. I really thought that civil engineering would be a great stepping stone for me into architecture until I decided what I want to do. Now I want to look over the pros and cons of each and decide what I really want to pursue. A second more detailed question I have about each of the degree I listed in my original question is what particular type of work would be done in each and what special skills are required of each one? #civil-engineering #architecture #architect #degrees #architectural-engineering
Is it possible for one to work as an Architect and an Architectural Engineer? I Know they're two incredibly different fields, but I am incredibly passionate about both and am curious if there is a way to actually participat ein both in the work force.
I am aiming for a BS in Architectural Engineering and Plan on getting a Masters in Architecture, to give myself a well-rounded education. I've heard from professors that it's fairly black and white between the two careers, however that might simply only be the case in America. Maybe other countries have more of a mix? Any help would be great, thanks! #engineering #architect #arts #architectural-engineering #engineer #architecture
Is having a wildly different and innovative idea practical in the architecture world? It may seem like an easy question, but are most architectural projects designed to have a "wow factor" or are they just whatever is trending?
I am currently a senior in high school who will be majoring in architecture next year. I've always loved architecture and have wanted to be one since my kindergarten days. I want to know from an actual architect if they have the liberty to design pretty much whatever they want (within practicality of course), or if those certain codes limit the extent of creativity. #architecture #architect #interior-design #architectural-design #interior-architecture #architectural-engineering
