one major branch in civil that he didnt mention was environmental engineering. Environmental engineers deal with many stuff mechanical engineers dont, such as environmental chemistry, water microbiology, water treatment, air quality, just to name a few. Civil engineers also develop complex piping networks to distribute water, detention ponds, dams, weirs, and other hydraulic structures. This is often the work of hydraulic engineers. Structural engineers also analyse and construct structures that will sustain seismic forces from earthquakes. There might be 5 major branches to civil engineering, but each provides many different career outcomes. In my opinion, civil engineering has a direct and immediate impact on the everyday lives of people, and to anyone considering this career path this should be an important factor,
Xxac1348xX i think environmental engineering is seperated from civil engineering, even though they overlap in some areas. At least in germany they are two different majors. But due to the partial similarities the transition is not that hard (at least within the water department). I agree, that the video "failed" to showcase the diversity of civil engineering. Well, failed is a bit too harsh, but you can do so much as a civil engineer, especially in the environmental areas.
I am not aware as to how it works in other countries but many universities in the U.S. have a unified department for civil engineering, which includes environmental engineering.
Here at the US. Books always emphasize at least 6 main areas of civil engineering. Structural, Geotechnical, Environmental, Water Resources, Transportation, and Management. Most of the time, the 6 branches are teach equally, and then a Master will go more into the specialization. Ps: For water classes, I not only took fluid mechanics; I took hydrology, hydraulics, water treatment, and water resources for my bachelors. Still, good video.
You didn't mention that in some cases a mechanical engineer can't take the place of a civil engineering because of the professional rights. It isn't because he didn't do it at the college but he isn't allowed by law to sign the plan of a building because you have to be a licenced civil engineer to do the study on the foundations, columns, beams etc. I would suggest that you focus on the professional rights at your next videos.
@@mayrajloredo87 I know this is a year old, but at my last job, we had a mechanical engineer who got his PE in geotechnical engineering. What matters is what you got your PE in.
Choose whichever you like the most, I chose Mech, but when I bought my first house I learned a lot about civil engineering and construction. Common entry first year engineering is a good way to go.
@@Jousef9 Electrical engineering is cool and everything but I go for mechanical myself. Mechanical have so many equations that makes me love it! And as well the making of mechanism is just amazing.

Thanks man! And yeah R&D would be really cool and I'll definitely try to do some videos on that for different fields. I think that'll happen before I go into very specific topics like nanotechnology, automobiles, microprocessors, etc because at the moment I want these videos to encompass a wide range of topics within a major rather than go into depth on one specific topic.
MajorPrep Please do R&D for all engineering fields especially nanotechnology applications such biomedical and alternative energy! It would be very appreciated and I will be patiently awaiting those vids! Thanks
One thing you didn’t touch on in Civil is the Hydrology and Hydrogeology aspects: calculating water budgets, going out into the field to take samples of surface and groundwater, modelling water and groundwater flow and even modelling pollution transport.
In civil you forgot to mention Construction Engineering that deals with the planning, budget, and actual construction of the projects; and environmental engineering which deals with wastewater treatment, air pollution, and sustainability, etc. I am a civil engineering student and my university offers courses in those 5 main areas of study.
Thanks for breaking down the comparison and also including a lot of information in a nice condensed version. A great starting point to help direct which area I am interested in and to clarify a lot of unknowns/confusing information I have learned over the years.
Can you do an analysis of Aerospace vs. Mechanical? I'd like to know the differences and similarities of curricula before I commit to one or the other in college with the intent of doing Aerospace.
currently both structural and mechanical engineering are wanted for the same position. Structural engineering are faced with dynamic than ever before. Times change. I found myself more favor dynamic.
i have both options to go for civil engineering or mechanical engineering but i am fully confused that which one would be right for me actually my interest is in both 😂😂😂😂😂
I'm still confused whether what path I'm going to take between civil engineering or mechanical engineering 😭. I love the thought of you get to design structures, houses and such but I also love circuits, and machines. Can someone help me please and enlighten me whether which field of engineering between the two have more opportunities and job outlook🥺😭
@@lalisamanobangs8792 saw a fellow blink so thought I'd say hi. Mechanical covers a wide range of fields so if you wanna keep your options open go for it. But in the end it depends on what you like or you're passionate about.
You can also, if you have money, buy some neat STEM toys or models off of Amazon of the different fields. Like Aruino for electric, or building models for either C.E. Or M.E. You’ll spark you inner child and curiosity, and from there as your projects get more complex and your hunger for knowledge increases, your passion will be evident where you intrigue leans… maybe 🤔 well, that’s my plan anyway
Hypothetically, could I pursue a C.E. w/ water resources/ environmental elective background, reap all the benefits of the “civil” side too, like project management, whilst in my free time do basic M.E. home projects out of interest, and hopefully somehow become Tony Stark if I live long enough? Fluid also mechanics overlap. And, I can switch industries if it turns out I like M.E. seriously as a career to return to school(?), or keep it to cool projects and self-taught.
take statics and dynamics, which is preferred shit that move or dont move. if you like moving parts then mechanical then if you dont like shit that doesnt move then civil.
Hey Sorcha. I can relate to your comment, since I'm going to start engineering soon and has this in mind while choosing a major. To be brief, here are some options: Electrical: For renewable energies and improving transmission Civil: Like MP said,for water resources ( managing floods, water access, hidraulic energy) Mechanical: For wind , wave and perhaps solar energy. Also, perhaps for carbon capturing. I recommend you check out Askengineers on Reddit, it's full of info
Would you recommend to study both? is it possible to work in the two fields? Because I would like to be a civil and mechanical engineer, I really like both of them.
In terms of undergrad you can really only study one, there will be overlap but they are two different majors. In terms of careers you can definitely do something like structural design which would incorporate information from both disciplines. But typically in a career you'd be in one field or another.
I love the subjects on mechanical, civil appears to be uninsteresting to me. But the lifestyle on civil seems better, like going on outside site visits and having more human contact. Do mechanical engineers have that kind of lifestyle too? Or they only visit factories and work at their desk? Should i choose mechanical bc i like the subjects and applications or civil bc i'd like the lifestyle more? Plz help
I study mechanical engineering and its extremely broad, maybe one of the broadest majors there are. If you become a mechanical engineer for a factory then indeed, you will probably not come that much “outside” for work. But as a mechanical engineer you can also work in/for hospitals, yachts/cruise companies, solar energy (on roofs) for example and many more different types of fields. I like this major so much because you can basically make like everything you want lmao
I watched this video, the ME one and the CE video. I'm interested in transport and hydraulics engineering and somehow, manufacturing as well. I'm leaning towards civil engineering at the moment for that reason. Does anyone know the extent to which a civil engineer could work in the renewable energy sector or what jobs I could end up doing in that sector?
It depends on what renewable energy. Hydro power is basically civil engineering (hydraulics and structures mainly). Nuclear needs civil engineering to construc the plants, but after that only maintenance and that's few people; we also don't know much about fusion, so what I said only applies to fission, though everything suggests fusion will require even less civil. Eolic energy has some civil engineer, dealing mostly with structures and planning. Solar probably employs the least amount, but there are a few in construction and planning. Geothermal I don't know about, but I suppose it would employ more than nuclear and less than hydro. In a civil engineering position, you will work indirectly with renewable energy, you will provide the physical non electric infrastructure that it requires, but nothing related to the actual generation and distribution of energy. Summing up, it's a field with little proportion of civil engineers, and for now it employs very few, but it does and you can look for such jobs. But if you want to study civil just for renewables work, don't do it, it's a bad bet.
Math is practiced and learned. Not something you are born with. Some people will catch on quicker than others but good thing is getting your degree isn’t a race. I started at math 82 in college and got all the way up to differential equations. Don’t let math be the deciding factor from achieving your goals if there’s a field your interested in.
I used to work as a wood and metalworker and I really enjoyed the hands on work. Idk what choose between civil and mech. Which one should I take? i feel like i should go towards mechanical since it looks like there is more hands on work. And also civil is more on designing and building huge structures and mech seems like i can do both small and big structures. I'm so confused omg
MajorPrep does civil engineering require speaking infornt of people? I'm a stuttered i be shy to speak infornt of people because i barely get the words out.

How about the difference between Construction Engineering and Civil Engineering? Saw both of these majors in the undergrad catalog for a univerisity here. Looked through the courses for both and I'm still pretty shaky on what the differences are.
yea, i saw that both had a LOT of the same courses which is what prompted my confusion as to what the difference between the two might be. like what does one focus more on compared to the other?
Usually construction is just a stream or simply a part within a civil engineering major. I don't think there's a standalone construction engineering major. There is a standalone construction management major which qualifies you to work in construction management but ultimately you're not an accredited engineer at the end of that degree despite doing engineering courses within the program. If you're interested in construction then major in civil and do an internship in construction. You can then apply to construction (site engineering) jobs.
thanks for the additional insight. check it out here though, Civil Engineering degree AND Construction Engineering degree, both separate majors: catalog.ucf.edu/programs/degree-programs
It looks similar to the core civil program. I'd recommend you take the civil major as it offers more choice in engineering electives. The thing is construction enegineering is a rare major (I didn't even know it existed). You'll have no trouble getting a job in construction with a civil degree but a construction major might pigeonhole you in case you want to switch into a different area in the event that employers aren't familiar with the scope of the program. That's my 2c
I have a two year degree in Liberal Arts. I have a four year degree in English. if I went back to college for engineering should I earn a masters or another undergraduate degree? If I return to college for engineering are there oppertunaties not directly related to engineering that the engineering education as well as the soft skills that engineering students learn through that education that would open up for me if I decide to study to earn a engineering degree but not to become an engineer? Do a Civil Engineering degree and a Mechanical Engineering degree have the same level of flexibility both at the undergraduate and graduate level?
@@davidsoto4394 Even if you tried for a masters in engineering degree, you will probably have to take some undergraduate engineering courses as prerequisites before beginning your master’s courses. Construction law and contractor contracts might be something you could look into. Mechanical and civil engineering at the undergraduate is interchangeable up until the second year, then the window of opportunity to switch begins to close.
I want to work on bioregenative life support systems in habitats. Im leaning civil to designing the habitat, but it feels i need something additional to design the bio pathways like chemical or mechanical engineering. Seems like it would be like hvac engineering.

So I work in the water industry. I was a water treatment specialist in the army and now I’m a meter reader in the civilian world. I wanna stay in the water industry and I wanna design, build, and maintain water/wastewater treatment machines, like pumps, etc... so if anyone here can help me decide if i should do civil or mechanical engineering, that would be great. Yes I did watch the video but I’d rather get other options especially ones with experience here. Thanks y’all
If you would want to build machines, probably mechanical, but if you want to work on wide scale water treatment, environmental health, and the microbiology side of water resources, then civil.
I am not disvaluing the branch of engineering that is civil engineering. But civil engineering is just mechanical engineering without motion. To me civil is a subfield of mechanical. At the end of the day we are engineers.
Actually civil engineers interest with static structures for example structure engineer can work in aircraft structure because even if the aircraft is moving, there are sections in it that need to be stable like airframe.But mechanical enginners interest with dynamic structures .So that's the different.Civil eng interests static structures and mech eng interests dynamic structures.
In civil engineering, there is also the management part and finance for constructions. Also the Geodetic Engineering (Terrain, measurements part) is specific for civil engineering. So there are some aspects that are specific for civil.
DeityNote senior in mechanical engineering, i havent learned anything specifically about cars this whole time except maybe physics probelms involving them other than that no
I totally disagree in this video coz civil engineering doesn't have any limits and to build anything u need to design It estimate it and check the all the things which mechanical engineering can't in comparison to civil engineering
What do you mean? Mechanical engineers design cars, rockets, planes, headphones, jets etc. I don't see how you don't need design and estimation for those
Hi, I am currently doing static and materials stress in one of my uni course. What would I study if I want to do similar things to static and material stress in the future?
In the video, he said civil is more about statics and mechanical is more about dynamics, so probably civil engineering. I'm not in uni yet though, just what I've learnt from forum posts, articles and this RUclips video.

Very helpful
If I can't decide between the two, which would be the better option in terms of switching industries if I get bored?
Mechanical for sure.
I have a two year degree in Liberal Arts. I have a four year degree in English. if I went back to college for engineering should I earn a masters or another undergraduate degree? If I return to college for engineering are there oppertunaties not directly related to engineering that the engineering education as well as the soft skills that engineering students learn through that education that would open up for me if I decide to study to earn a engineering degree but not to become an engineer? Do a Civil Engineering degree and a Mechanical Engineering degree have the same level of flexibility both at the undergraduate and graduate level?

Even if you tried for a masters in engineering degree, you will probably have to take some undergraduate engineering courses as prerequisites before beginning your master’s courses.
Construction law and contractor contracts might be something you could look into.
Mechanical and civil engineering at the undergraduate is interchangeable up until the second year, then the window of opportunity to switch begins to close.
i fall for mechanical
ABU NICK ✌🏽💯
Hmm🤔 What if you built a sky scraper that was a jet and a lambo at the same time, and then it turns into a bridge...
I want to work on bioregenative life support systems in habitats. Im leaning civil to designing the habitat, but it feels i need something additional to design the bio pathways like chemical or mechanical engineering. Seems like it would be like hvac engineering.
that sounds so interesting, would love to do something like that too
@@jeycalc6877 I've enrolled in one of University of North Dakota's online engineering programs (everything is only except for a couple week or two long labs in the summer). They have a space studies master's program that i'm looking to get into after my bs in geologic engineering (already have a bs in geology). I had a friend who use to work on the plants in the space habitats. they also have space suits and such. If its something you're interested in and want to enroll perhaps we could tackle different ends to the problems or something. My senior design class would be around 2028.
Your explanation is good and i subscribe
thanks!
Civil Engineering >>> Mechunical Engineering
Material science/engineering please !
just don't take TRUST ME . it's by far the worst thing to study in engineering
It is possible the persue civil structural Engineering for masters, After bachlors in Mechanical engineering??? Please answer me if any one have any idea
Thanks, it helps a lot
thanks broh
fowzia cadey what type of engineering do I go into for fixing hospital equipment etc
that would be biomedical engineering
What major should i choose when i want to make machines like jigsaws deadly traps and cars
RainNne jigsaw was a civil engineer
Wait what
What should I choose if I interested in making the gadgets?Civil or Mechanical?
Gadgets?
Choose Electronics Engineering

I would like to make motorhomes but still can't figure which one would be more useful.
Mechanical engineering is probably the better way to go
Do civil engineers design dampers/spring system to prevent earthquake shocks?
I don't believe so. They work on the structural aspect of buildings/structures. You're thinking of a mechanical engineer.
I'm actually interested in both mechanical and Civil engineering. Since mechanical engineering is a diverse course and if I were to get bachelor's degree in mechanical would I apply for jobs regarding civil/structural engineering?
@@zachstar Structural Engineers do, towards post-grad, Structural engineering involves a lot of mechanical principles ( vibration & noise, etc)
So I work in the water industry. I was a water treatment specialist in the army and now I’m a meter reader in the civilian world. I wanna stay in the water industry and I wanna design, build, and maintain water/wastewater treatment machines, like pumps, etc... so if anyone here can help me decide if i should do civil or mechanical engineering, that would be great. Yes I did watch the video but I’d rather get other options especially ones with experience here. Thanks y’all
If you would want to build machines, probably mechanical, but if you want to work on wide scale water treatment, environmental health, and the microbiology side of water resources, then civil.
Please do Mechatronics!!!
I study Mechinical Pro
So please give me some idea
Bro u tell bro which is better.?
can you please do one for food science and technology?
What major if I want to learn to invent vehicles, like an enclosed motorcycle or something?
Probably mechanical engineering
Thank you!
How about money? I wanna go with mechanical but i want know the money situation
I'm 18 year old and I learn secondary level I am genius In maths and physics and also I like to learn a computer science plz help and advise me
maryam abdirizaq follow your passion/ what you like most ,,,
you coul watch the video about electrical engineering or civil. Mjor prep too
Jesus is the Son of God,he lloves you. Repent
I am not disvaluing the branch of engineering that is civil engineering. But civil engineering is just mechanical engineering without motion. To me civil is a subfield of mechanical. At the end of the day we are engineers.
Actually civil engineers interest with static structures for example structure engineer can work in aircraft structure because even if the aircraft is moving, there are sections in it that need to be stable like airframe.But mechanical enginners interest with dynamic structures .So that's the different.Civil eng interests static structures and mech eng interests dynamic structures.
In civil engineering, there is also the management part and finance for constructions. Also the Geodetic Engineering (Terrain, measurements part) is specific for civil engineering. So there are some aspects that are specific for civil.
I am a mechanical engineering student I would like to work
Civil = Houses
Mechanical = Cars
DONE.
Not true at all. Not even close.
Ashley Bailey what do you mean?
DeityNote senior in mechanical engineering, i havent learned anything specifically about cars this whole time except maybe physics probelms involving them other than that no
nope mech is broad as long as any machine moves a mechanical engineer is needed
Lord Snow im Hvac mech eng
Civil.
Are there more opportunities with civil or mechanical
Can a mechanical engineer get a job as a civil engineer
ruclips.net/video/vFDMaHQ4kW8/видео.html 💐
Civil
which mean mechanical engineer is harder
Mechanical
I totally disagree in this video coz civil engineering doesn't have any limits and to build anything u need to design It estimate it and check the all the things which mechanical engineering can't in comparison to civil engineering
What do you mean? Mechanical engineers design cars, rockets, planes, headphones, jets etc. I don't see how you don't need design and estimation for those
lol thats why mechanical engineering has a subject called "MACHINE ELEMENTS/MACHINE DESIGN"...
Hi, I am currently doing static and materials stress in one of my uni course. What would I study if I want to do similar things to static and material stress in the future?
In the video, he said civil is more about statics and mechanical is more about dynamics, so probably civil engineering. I'm not in uni yet though, just what I've learnt from forum posts, articles and this RUclips video.
pro, does civil engineering courses contain mathematics especially calculus because I want to do civil degree and I like calculus but some people said to me you won't see much calculus in civil engineering it's better to go mechanical engineering and I was really confused ,I want your advice please
Bro i got offered both of this courses Alhamdulillah but yeah
I like robotics.. Can yu explain it
How about wave mechanics?
Awesome video..#mechengg patel
On the basis of salary which one of them will be best??
Faisal Khan same
Nearly the same
They have around the same salary but civil engineers are more in demand.
I Need help, I'm undergraduate, btn civil n mechanical what should I take?
ruclips.net/video/vFDMaHQ4kW8/видео.html 💐
what did you take
Because I am currently in the same situation you were in
ia m majerod in manayz
Mechanical is interesting than civil engineering.
Hay quá
Mechanical vs automobile which is best
What should I study if I want to work in car factories
Or you can get a major and minor in both and have the benefits
Elaborate pls!!!
Doesn't work in some countries
which is more harder
more harder...
My pnus
Mechanical
ZXxsniperMsrXx mechanical is a bit harder but all engineering fields are hard , there is a reason why engineers have high salary
hahah yeah that would be good... in my country(Portugal) a civil engineer (fresh out of college) recieves the minimum wage that would be 600/700 euros, the thing is im a fresh student on civil engineering but with the condition of my country, i dont know if'll change major to mechanic. I like civil engeneering more than i like mechanic but the salary man..... pls give me your opinion
ajgggggg, apa seharusnya gua milih ftmd
pipes are mechanical structure.
Actually those are the static structures for this reason pipes are the hydraulic engineers(civil eng) job.
Hey everyone, is it possible for computer engineers to be hired as software/electrical engineers?
FluttershyBrony2468 Yes.
Definitely, happens a lot of the time.
Thanks for the responses, I was just stressing out over it haha, i feel more at ease now 😂
You can apply to any job as you feel having the skills required
Software yes.
But I don’t think they can be hired as electrical engineers
Civil Engineer = Glorified Construction Foreman.
...and Mechanical Engineer = Glorified mechanic? right!
hahahaha
you wish. LOL
John BDD my granddad is a foreman and he’s pretty fucking rich he’s actually paying for me to go to school for civil engineering :)
Not school. You mean college/university. Do him proud.
What engineering would I choose if I want to make a giant torture chamber for my slaves and victims
I believe the major YOU are looking for would be about banking and loaning
