Understanding the Differences Between Civil and Structural Engineering

7/18/2016

15 Comments

 
Civil Engineering
Structural and civil engineering are two disciplines in the engineering field that are quite similar to each other. Both engineering types are responsible for making sure construction projects are safe, stable and cost-effective. However, they hold vital differences that make them distinct from each other.

Side-by-Side Comparison

Civil engineers typically are involved in the overall supervision of a construction site and are focused on how the construction projects will impact the environment. Structural engineers, on the other hand, are usually tasked with looking at the effect of various conditions of the infrastructure of the construction project. 
The major differences between the disciplines include the following:
  • Civil engineering is a broad subject that includes structural engineering. Structural engineering is a subject under civil engineering at the undergraduate level.
  • ​Structural engineers analyze the effect of temperature and wind fluctuations on tall buildings and other structures. Civil engineers work strictly on research, environmental factors and or design and may act as supervisors at a construction site.
All structural engineers are civil engineers. However, not all civil engineers are structural engineers. Despite their similarities or differences, both civil and structural engineers must be familiar with the laws and regulations in the places where they work.
