both are good occupations- which pays better staring salary- dont know- yet i believe you can get a B.S.E.E.-bachelor  of science degree in electrical engineering in 4 yrs., while a degree in architecture, i believe is 5 or 6 yrs of study or more--also depends what you like more or are suited to- architecture needs people with imagination and good drawing and spacial skills- while electrical engineers just need good intelligence overall, i believe, and they can teach you the rest?? !! my dad was an e.e. yet had a degree in biology-but took grad courses in engineering and was a ham radio operator and mechanically inclined !! good luck to you- best way to get some advise- talk to a few E.E.'S  and a few architects to find out a lot of answers and practical considerations !!!

Mechanical engineers build things that move, that deal with heat transfer and energy, power and work and things like that. Mechanicals would work on designing cars or amusement park rides or airplanes or ceiling fands or air conditioners.\n\nElectrical engineers deal with circuitry and electronics. They'd build a better digital clock or timer, or something like that.\n\nMechanicals might deal with electrical engineering in passing, since it's the broadest discipline. Electricals just focus on their one area of expertise.

Good base of answers above, and all are pretty much correct.  An architect will determine how a building looks, feels, and functions to the satisfaction of the owner.  A structural engineer will determine what is required to resist the forces of nature (gravity, wind, seismic, etc.) so as to ensure the building can be safely occupied to the satisfaction of the architect.  Notice the chain of command...\n\nArchitects must pass a very intense testing program to become licensed in their state.  Engineers must first pass an FE exam (8 hours) usually after graduation, then get through four years of experience, then pass another 8 hour test to become licensed in their state.\n\nStructural engineering is basically a branch of civil engineering; however, I have found that many civil engineers who end up doing engineering in architecture lack the ability to understand the needs of architecture.  Enter the architectural engineer.  We are trained in the all of the essentials of engineering, but we also take courses in architecture to ensure some understanding of that side of building construction.  We are here to design a building, but lets not forget that the whole point is for it to look good.\n\nI was in the same predicament as you when I graduated high school.  I liked physics and math and buildings.  If you have an interest in buildings and construction and you have a technical background as well, you should consider architectural engineering.  If your technical background is not so strong and you have more creativity, stick with architecture.  Either way, be sure to find an ABET accredited program otherwise, the licensing process becomes much more difficult.

Molly has a good point.\n\nWhich one do you really like?\nIf you like them both, then you are as same as me.\n\nLet's see...\nElectric engineering. Sounds cool, do you think not?\nYou get to make cool electrical stuffs such as fridges, irons, air conditioners, lamps and others which are beneficial to humans, am I right?\n\nSocial Science?\nIt is more general and less complex than Pure Science I presume.\nHowever, it is still cool and beneficial.\n\nIn order to learn Electric Engineering, you must study Additional Maths, Chemistry, Physics and two more other things, right?\n\nAdditional Maths, Chemistry, and Physics?\nWOW!\nAren't they super-cool?\n\nHow about Social Science's subjects?\nChemistry, Biology, Additional Maths and EST?\nThe fun is getting better!\n\nWhich one should you choose?\nBoth of them sound interesting to me.\nHow about take them both?\nJust kidding.\nTo me, they look the same and related.\nWhich means it is good if you master them both.\n\nI assume I am not making sense here, right?\n\nIt all depends on your enthusiasm rather your ability.\nChoose what you really want, not choose what you think is easier.\n\nAlthough Electric Engineering might sound easier for you because of the absence of Biology which you must remember scientific names for the subjects in it.\nBut if you really like Biology, then remembering scientific names is a snap for you.\n\nRemember,\n"Enthusiasm tops over ability".\n\n\nAh, yes. Future jobs.\nFor EE, you can apply as an Electric Engineer in companies like Phillips, Sony, Braun and others.\nFor SS, you can work as an anthropologist or physiologist or others.\n\n\nDo consider rechecks, I am typing without references so mistakes must occur.\nGood luck for you!

Well, my Dad was first an engineer, then became a lawyer.  Congratulations on choosing some noble professions - either is good in my opinion.  Both are a challenge!  The United States (where I assume you are) is said to have a shortage in both of these areas.  So, I applaud you fr pursueing one of them.  Sorry, I do not have better information on which may pay you better.  My advice is that you choose the one you have more enthusiam for and intuition.  Good luck!

An architect is a person involved in the planning, designing and oversight of a building's construction. The word "architect" is derived from the Latin architectus and from the Greek arkhitekton. In the broadest sense, an architect is a person who translates the user's needs into the builder's requirements. An architect must thoroughly understand the building and operational codes under which his or her design must conform. That degree of knowledge is necessary so that she or he is not apt to omit any necessary requirements, or produce improper, conflicting, ambiguous, or confusing requirements. He or she must understand the various methods available to the builder for building the user's structure, so that he or she can negotiate with the user to produce a best possible compromise of the results desired within explicit cost and time boundaries.\n\nArchitects are professionals who must frequently make building design and planning decisions that affect the safety and well being of the general public. Architects are required to obtain specialized education and documented work experience to obtain professional licensure, similar to the requirements for other professionals, with requirements for practice varying greatly from place to place (see below).\n\nThe most prestigious award a living architect can receive is the Pritzker Prize, often termed the "Nobel Prize for architecture." Other awards for excellence in architecture are given by national and regional professional associations such as the American Institute of Architects and Royal Institute of British Architects.\n\nAlthough architect technically refers to a licensed professional, the word is frequently used in the broader sense noted above to define someone who brings order to the built or unbuilt environment through the use of rational constructs. For example, "naval architects," "software architects," and graduates of schools of architecture working in architecture firms are often called "architects." However, in most countries unlicensed people working in the construction industry are legally prohibited from referring to themselves as "architects."\nIn the United States, people wishing to become licensed architects are required to have a professional degree from a school accredited by the NAAB and pass a series of exams administered by the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB), referred to as the Architect Registration Examination (ARE). In addition, such people must have a minimum of 3 years of documented, practical work experience working under a licensed architect before they are eligible to take the ARE. Although the ARE is a national exam, each state has specific requirements and issues their own licenses due to varying environmental conditions in each region. Other states have reciprocity agreements, so licenses may be easily transferred between certain states. In some states with older licensure law (New York and California for example) schooling is technically not required for licensure - 10 years of documented work experience under an accredited architect is sufficient; however, these states will soon upgrade to the NCARB accredidation standards that most states now have which require a professional degree. Virtually all employment channels require formal education. All architects licensed by their respective states have professional status as Registered Architects (RA).\n\nThere are three types of professional degrees in architecture in the United States: the Bachelor of Architecture, Master of Architecture, and Doctor of Architecture degrees, respectively abbreviated as "B.Arch," "M.Arch," and "D.Arch." Non-professional degrees include the Bachelor of Arts in Architecture (BA), Bachelor of Science in Architecture (BS), Bachelor of Fine Arts in Architecture (BFA Arch), and "Bachelor of Environmental Design" (B.Envd).

YoWza - that's a lot of words.\n\nThere are many kinds of Engineers. Not all drive trains.\n\nYou must've been reading a senior electrical design engineer job requirement (with a telecommunications company.)\n\nPut each of these in the "Skills" section of your resume, and apply. The best way to find out what they really want is to get the interview. If you get the job, you'll find out what these means throught OJT.\n\nThis free career councilling message is brought to you by the U of HK. (University of Hard Knocks)

Well, if you have the slightest desire to learn about the design and workings of the computer's hardware then you might want to consider Computer Engineering. If you are interested in programming techniques, operating systems, compilers, data structures, algorithms, software engineering methods etc then computer science may be right for you.\n\nIn computer engineering you will have to deal with the electrical/electronics engineering side of the computer.\n\nAs far as employment opportunities are concerned both have a good demand. Computer engineers can go a step beyond and work with Embedded electronic systems where in order to troubleshoot a program one may have to actually work at the circuit/board level with sophisticated electronic test tools such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers etc. A computer engineer is also involved in actual circuit level/board level design of the specialized computer on which he/she may develop a particular program.\n\nIn computer engineering program along with the usual computer science classes like programming languages, operating systems, data structures etc you can also expect electrical engineering classes such as circuit analysis, transistor level electronic circuits, logic circuits design and analysis, Microprocessor based systems design and interfacing with the real world analog circuits and sensors etc.\n\nIn my opinion the outlook for computer engineers is likely to be quite good. That said, very good computer scientists who are specialized in networking technologies can also expect a very good outlook.

The number of electrical engineer jobs are plentiful depending on location.  From 2001-2004, there was a decrease in job availabilities for everyone.  Engineering companies were one of the hardest hit because of the dot-com bust.  \n\nPower engineering - also called power systems engineering, mostly handle designing and building power plants and power distribution.  Engineering consulting firms that build power generation plants hire power engineers.  Also designing power wiring for buildings.  EEs in this field are required to have their professional engineering liscense to be able to sign off before to be able approved to build anything by the state.  Power plants also hire power engineers to handle logistics and power distribution.\n\nElectronics engineer - designing and test electronics\n\nOptics engineer - designing and test IR, laser, radar, etc.\n\nRobotics - self explanatory\n\nBioengineering - a new branch of EE, designing and test medical devices.  I.e. artificial heart, lasers used for surgeries, different types of meters\n\nThe new rage: quantum dots, nanotechnology and biotech engineering\n\nPros: \n1 - It is a lot of fun and interesting.  \n2 - I get to tinker and explore something different everyday.\n3 - The pay is excellent.  Starting pay in my area varies from 57K-65K for BS in EE, 62K-75K for MS with less than 2 years experience.\n4 - The benefits are great.  Companies value their engineers a lot.  They will do anything to keep you from leaving, including giving 6 digit bonuses and days off.  \n\nCons:\n1 - Very stressful field.  When trying to meet a deadline, it is not uncommon to work 12-16 hours a day without overtime. (I even worked 28+ hours straight once)\n2 - Getting that degree took a lot of hard work and sacrifices.\n3 - Encounter useless arrogant MIT PhD graduate blowhards\n4 - Encounter sexist angry 70 year old engineers - one calls me "Hey you, girl, whatever your name is, come here!"
