    A structural engineer is a civil engineer that has passed the istructe exam in the UK or US equivalent. It’s the hardest exam I have ever taken but only after passing it was I a structural engineer. To do so I first qualified as a civil engineer 2 years earlier. Takes about 10-15 academic plus practical years before you have the capability to pass the istructe exam.

    Not all structural engineer has civil engineering degree, some has mechanical degree, though most of them are specialized in steel only and have basic knowledge on foundation design. But they can be very good with FEA and fatigue design

    In Panama Civil engineers graduated in local universities can design structures, roads, sanitary and hydraulic systems. There are civil engineers with master degrees in structures and structural engineers who design complex projects. So in our case civil engineers have a broader job opportunities.

    More subsets for structural engineering. Forensic/inspection. One that crosses over with mechanical engineering, is below the hook lifting devices.

    Great video! Some civil engineering sectors can overlap depending on your work area. For example my role in Aus railway track design considers aspects in mechanical engineering (dynamics, tribology, wear etc..) which a civil engineering degree would not generally cover.

    I am a structural engineer. But people mostly confuse me for a civil engineer which mostly deals with the planning and execution part along with design of drainage systems. Great content in this video. Now I can finally explain to everyone the key difference between civil and structural Engineer.

    Ey Ey Ey. Don't try to disregard your background; you are a civil engineer first before you are a structural engineer, 😂😂, Like I am a civil engineer first before I am a geotechnical engineer.. 😂.. .tongue in cheek. I know exactly what you mean; I always have to explain to people what geotechnical engineers do.

    Hey am from India Currently am in school Reading in class 12 Next year i will be either opting for bachelors in civil engineering or architecture I love both designing part and site work inspection....i am good at mathematics Which will be a good to go on the basis of current market ? Should i take civil or architecture...how to take the decision properly so that I don't have any regret in future Also note this...that if i take civil i will do masters in structural!
