Arch Engineering v Civil?

Edwards Finance > Architectural Engineering

Q. I am wondering what the advantage is to getting a degree in architectural engineering as opposed to a degree in civil engineering with additional course work in architecture. I have an opportunity to attend a school with an architectural engineering program, but it would involve a major move. If I stay where I am I can get a civil engineering degree. I want to be an architectural engineer. Any help would be appreciated.

A. -To learn what architectural engineers do, visit: KU Architectural Engineering http://www.arce.ukans.edu/arce/arce.htm The National Society of Architectural Engineers (NSAE) http://www.arce.ukans.edu/nsae/main.htm The World-Wide Web Virtual Library: Architectural Engineering http://www.arce.ukans.edu/wwwvl/wwwarce.htm -You would probably find that civil engineering is somewhat less subject to economic fluctuations than architecture.
