Architect or Civil Engineer??

Well? This is an issue between the architecture and engineers but seems there are no clear conversations about this. What should be the responsibilities and tasks by the two profession when it comes to planning of a certain structure? 


Anyway, what is architecture? According to Wikipedia, Architecture is both the process and product of planning, designing and construction. Architectural works, in the material form of buildings, are often perceived as cultural and political symbols and as works of art. Let's study the words "planning, designing and construction", planning is the foundation of a proposed project, this is were the layout and placing of the different part of the structure is being planned, designing consist of the aesthetic part of the building and how about the construction, construction is the actual practice of performing the plan. Architects are not taking an important role in the construction, since in order to be successful in a certain project, we need skilled laborers for the construction.


What is Civil Engineering? Again, according to Wikipedia, Civil engineering is a professional engineering discipline that deals with the design, construction, and maintenance of the physical and naturally built environment, including works like roads, bridges, canals, dams, and buildings. A civil engineer takes an important role in the design of the project, for an engineer is responsible in the allocation of materials to be used in the design of the structure, the availability and cost of the materials used in the building of the structure. Maintenance is also a task to be made by the engineer since engineer plans the internal reactions of the columns, slabs, floors etc, for the safety of the people who will use the structure.


Architects and Civil Engineers both play an important role to accomplish a certain project. It doesn't matter whether both of the profession takes bigger responsibility, important is they should be concern of the good result of the project. ^^

A Brain Teasing Experience

What is the first thing that comes into your mind if you hear the word "College"??

Is it something scary or something uncomfortable??

Well, you might feel pressure especially if you are a freshman on college.
What course would you like to take?? It's true that there were seminars held during your 4th year in high school  about what course would you like to take, what profession is suitable for you, what are the things you need to prepare before entering college, these are the questions that keep coming into your mind during your enrollment days. But, those seminars are useless if you're pressuring yourself.

Civil Engineering!

Yes I want to take it! That's my first reaction when i see the list of courses available. Why? Am i good in math?  Actually, I'm not that good, but i can solve mathematics problems. It's my reason why I took Civil Engineering, yes that's the only reason.

During my 1st year, all the lessons are easy for me, I guess. My second year is also good and also my third year was not that bad. But during my 4th year, subjects are getting difficult that I ever imagined. All subjects are purely applications of maths in the field, out professor is training us for the actual job of a civil engineer, woooossshh,.. it's the very stressful time of my college life. I can't even managed my time reviewing, doing projects, report, completing manuals. It's the time i realize that in civil engineering, you should not only be good in math but also good in applying it on practical situations.

Anyway that's an experience..

I hope that the following can help you student to succeed on your academics..

1. Location, Location, Location..

If you're serious about getting work done, find a place that's relatively free of distractions.

2. Make it a habit: Work everyday!

Avoid all night cramming sessions. You will not be able to understand and retain much information. Instead spend some time on your studies.

3. Help Exists! Seek it out and Improve your Grades!

Check out your school's learning skill services, library materials, tutorials, make-up classes, remedial classes, etc.

4. Write it down!

Record important dates, like dates for assignments and tests. A day planner is great for organizing your life.

5. Get energized: Eat,Energized and Sleep!

6. Be keen: Go to class prepared and Take down notes

7. Lectures and Textbook: What's the Big Picture??

8. Do Something to remember key information!

9. Think you'll remember key points! Test yourself!

10. Be Test-Smart!

Goodluck! ^^

The Mabini Academy Architecture (Sample Thesis)

A network isn't just a bunch of computers with wires running between them. Properly implemented, a network is a system that provides its users with unique capabilities, above and beyond what the individual machines and their software applications can provide. As technology rampantly growing, it has been a part of our daily lives and yet many are still left behind. Information technology must be applied to every systems of education to maintain a high standard competency thus it will also provide advancement in different aspects of business and studies.

            Network architecture is the design of a communications network. It is a framework for the specification of a network's physical components and their functional organization and configuration, its operational principles and procedures, as well as data formats used in its operation.

            In telecommunication, the specification of a network architecture may also include a detailed description of products and services delivered via a communications network, as well as detailed rate and billing structures under which services are compensated.
