The basic difference between the two is that civil engineers use technical knowledge for infrastructure development, while architects plan and design structures. Here is the difference between the two:
1. Course: The duration of a B.Tech in civil engineering is four years, whereas the B.Arch is a five-year course.
2. Job responsibilities: The architect's responsibility is to create the plan for a building to be constructed. The civil engineers are in charge of carrying out the architect's design and managing the entire construction process.
3. Area of expertise: To give a building a pleasing aesthetic, architects concentrate on the design of the building, including its shape, color, and spaces. The selection of appropriate materials for structural component testing is the civil engineer's main concern.
4. Work areas: Architecture is mostly limited to private spaces and, in some cases, official buildings, whereas civil engineering is expanded to include the construction of bridges, mega projects, and historical buildings.
