To be honest, both fields are poles apart. So, it would be unfair to compare them. Their focus, curriculum, career prospects, working fields, everything is different.
| Parameters | Civil Engineering | Mechanical Engineering |
|---|---|---|
| Focus | Design, building, and maintaining infrastructure, such as buildings, parks, bridges, sewage systems, etc. | Construction of machinery, engines, and tools to ensure the effective functionality of mechanical system designs. |
| Subjects | Bridge Engineering, Soil Dynamics and Machine Foundations, Earthquake Engineering, Finite Element Analysis, etc. | Mechanical Measurement, Engineering Mechanics, Graphics and Design, Engineering Metallurgy, Fluid Mechanics, etc. |
| Job Profiles | Structural Engineer, Geotechnical Engineer, Site Engineer, Construction Engineer, Consulting Engineer, Water Resources Engineer, etc. | Mechanical Design Engineer, Automotive Design Engineer, Assistant Mechanical Engineer, Product Engineer, Manufacturing Engineer, etc. |
| Employment Areas | Construction & Infrastructure, Real Estate, Water & Wastewater Management, Oil & Gas, etc. | Manufacturing, Energy, Robotics, Automotive, Aerospace, IT, etc. |

Every infrastructure you see around you is Civil Engineering. Offices, restaurants, schools, hospitals, and even the infrastructure of a park are the work of Civil Engineers.
But understand this, CE is not just about designing and developing buildings. It's the art of making infrastructure safe, sustainable, energy-efficient, and functional. They just don't make buildings, but they also make sewage systems, bridges, railways, highways, and other resilient designs to make lives easier.
