To get things started in here, let's check out who's doing what. What profession do some of you students plan to go into or major in? On the other hand, do we have any professionals here working in any of these fields of interest?

Personally, I just started college and am going to major in "Real Estate and Metropolitan Development."

How about you?

Any future or do we have any architects, engineers, developers, property managers, construction managers, consultants, etc.?

I plan on going to either GA Tech, VA Tech, UNC-Charlotte, or UNC State Universtiy to obtain something with Urban Affairs. :)

In October i'm starting the Barch in Architectural studies at the University of Bath (UK) and hopefully will fully qualify in 7 yrs. :D

That's it! I'm going to change my major into something urban-related (since there's still like 2 weeks before university starts) just so that I can post in here. :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant:

Not really skyscraper-related, though it certainly is an "urban" profession: I just finished my study in traffic & transport management. I hope to get a job in the public transport business or in a government, working on mobility policies.

Media Graphic Artist and Multimedia Designer

Hi everybody :)

I've got an engineering degree in the field of electrical engineering. I got my degree in a French engineering school and i've also been an exchange student at Iowa State (US).

Now I'm working in the air conditionning, selling air conditionner for any kind of building ...I plan to be in the next months a construction manager for everything related with electricity in a building (power supply, air conditionning, control systems...)

When/if I graduate, it'll be in Naval Architecture. I hope to go into shipbuilding in the end, hopefully after doing a Masters so I can go in more on the business side.

I'm just curious, where are you attending college. Your major sounds interesting and appeals to me since I hope to become a real estate developer.

Geographic Information Systems. Majored in Geography, graduated (after 8 years ;)) in 1998 from Georgia State University. Worked in the industry starting with a digitizing position in 1996 (previously AutoCad drafter). Held senior level GIS anaylst positions for the past 5 years.

Musician; yes, you´ve read well.

I'm about to enter my second year of university at Sheffield Hallam, my course is a Master in Planning and I hope to specialise in Urban Regeneration eventually.

Baruch has a good business school. The Real Estate program is pretty well-rounded. It's flexible, you can go into Planning, Public Policy, Real Estate and even Finance w/ that degree. Good for Pre-Law study, too. Good choice.

Architecture for me. COOPER UNION I AM COMING!

also, when i retire my job as architect, i am gonna teach classical history (YEA!)

Business Administration ;)

Musician; yes, you´ve read well.

what do you play? i played tenor sax in a jazz band for years.

I am majoring in architecture - I just started school a week ago.

Undergraduate Urban/City Planning
Will specialize in Urban Design in 3rd/4th year
Hopefully architecture for Masters

I'll be starting Engineering at the University of Alberta next week.

I'm planning on going to law school. I'm also interested in investing in major architectural projects in places like China and India. I'll have to wait until I acquire some capital to start.

I am a civil engineer.

Musician; yes, you´ve read well.

Every architect is a Musician, ever heard one architect talking about rythms?

I am planning to go into architecture. I'm not begging for designing skyscrapers just pretty much any career short of engineering.

Maybe I'll go for an architecture, but at the moment I'm visiting a construction managers high school

A civil engineering student, concentrating in transportation engineering, in University of Connecticut, USA.

doing architecture in the mackintosh schl, glasgow. :)

just finished my first year of studies!

I'm just starting my second year in Urban Planning at Newcastle university, UK. I'm not exactly a pro yet but hopefully in a few more years...

I studied Geography/Planning and dabbled in Bus. Admin/Economics (I was supposed to double major, only 8 courses left), intially, as pre-MBA study. In the last semester of my senior year, I changed my mind that, instead, my undergraduate study was pre-Law. What a great time to decide you want to go to law school. Now, I have to make up for my mediocre GPA!

Studing Chemical Engineering

Doin 2nd year architecture in University of South Australia.
3 more years to go mate.....

i saw some other people from HK doin architecture as well...
you guys plannin to work in HK after you graduate???
I will graduate in 2007 if nothin dramatic happens.... work in aus for some years then go bak to HK... and work for some.... then it'll be China... BeiJing will be really great after the 08 olympics... lots of development and investments...

as an architecture student... i've always dreamed about designing my own house in the future and as me and my collegue always say... we must design a skyscraper before we die ahhahahahah
:cheers:

same as you do. yes, i think i'll go back to hk after graduation cos uk is just too boring for me.

but i mean if i can't get a job in hk, then i'll have to stay in the uk unfortunately.

anyway, doing architecture in foreign countries is such a big investment of money. :(

I am into my honours year in Geography at the University of Singapore. Took up geography because I wanted to be an urban planner. But I think over time, I am beginning to change my mind. I might end up either being a full-time cop (already half-way in there), a teacher, or some other form of a civil servant! :D

I'm a general education officer.........:D

Architectural Technologist (not a Uni course, College Diploma, only 3 years).

Kinda feel like I need more schooling, but hoping to get experience first and foremost. Living in Japan at the moment, seriously considering the prospect of studying here. Just gotta get on my feet first (which I'm not at the moment). If I do study, it would be something along the lines of civil eng, or property development type of stuff, which I hope to apply to rail or other mass transit in future.

I hold a Technolgist degree of Civil Engineering Technology and currently work in Civil Drafting of drainage systems.

Hi Willie, how is you flight? Typed this msg whilst you are on the plane :D

Meteorologist

Architect

I teach the architects of tomorrow.... okay... so it's more decorating and furnishing boxes and sticking them on top of each other with lashings of PVA and then plastering them with bright powder paint... but everyone has to start somewhere. We once even made a teddy house.. it was 6 floors high. I'm sure you're all impressed. :yes:

;)

Fourth year Political Science and International Relations, planning on getting a European Studies and Law masters at the Universite Paris 1 - Pantheon Sorbonne, or an International and European Politics masters at the University of Edinburgh.

I always wanted to go into architecture but sucked painfully at anything related to physics or mathematics. :(

Same here. Also, I wanted to go into mechanical/aerospace engineering to design cars. Not fond of math, tho. I'm okay in it, just not fond of it. ;)

This Spring 2005 is when I finally start college.
I'll be studying for major in Computer Network Administration at Rogers State University in Claremore, OK., and I've already studied and achieved a minor degree in Graphics Design.

I would also really like to go into architecture, but from what I've read and heard, they don't get payed much. Most people will probably shun me for my aspiration of money though.

Right now my 5th year of Architecture in Escola Tecnica Superior d'Arquitectura de Barcelona and from tomorrow I am working in an Architecture office as drawer and project assitant.

I am thinking to pursue architecture course in the future. By the way, architecture is more related to Art or Engineering? This has been confusing me for a long time. Hope to get some usefull advice from those who are currently pursuing architecture course.

Real Estate Studies Major at the University of St. Thomas, St. Paul MN. Graduated May '04. Currently working internships doing appraisals and marketing Midas service stations for sale. However, always looking for more interesting work ;)

Civil and planning engineer working in transportation and urban planning.

Fourth (out of five) year Civil Engineering undergrad at the University of New Brunswick, specializing in Transportation and Traffic Engineering. I'm hoping to do my Master's in either Architecture, Urban Planning, or Transportation...not sure yet...along with an MBA.

Have been in the field of Geographic Information Systems for the past 7 years. Was majoring in GIS at Texas State University but have decided to change my major to Urban and Regional Planning. Currently at GIS Technician.

My other passions are boxing and kickboxing. I am hoping to get a few pro fights under my belt in the near future.

Heavy Construction cost estimator. Anyone else on the construction side of things or mostly consulting?

I am geographer (urban studies, human ecology, cartography), but worked afterwards in sociology and as webmaster as well as in the print media business. But since 3 weeks unemployed - but will go into media again as it seems.

7 years?!?! :eek:

I have had a hand tinkling with Arcsoft for a year, and I admit I had some fun, albeit I dont really like to get too involved in the technical side of things. Rather, we tend to utilise the tool to access geographic issues...

I might go back to touching the thing again next year for my 3rd course on it before I graduate, so maybe I can seek advice from you if you are willing! :D

architecture course in limkokwing university is not bad(reputation wise).. i mean if u wanna look for uni locally. limkokwing offers twinning with universities in australia (not sure which one).. my sister is taking this course. hope i can help as much.

limkokwing is an art college/university but its architecture course has its own department.. doesn't go under the faculty of art or design.. hmm may be someone else could help u answer this? cos i have no idea..

Hmmm.....its the "Bachelor of Arts in Architecture" in the National University of Singapore, despite being in its own department in a faculty shared with the Real Estate department?

And this classification seems to be in line with some of the academic schools around the world (especially the British-influenced), irrespective of whether architecture in itself is in a seperate department and/or faculty or not?

Proposal writer for design/build projects? We are just getting into design/build in our area (submitted our first proposal today), but that seems to be the way industry is heading. Usually it's just lowest price gets the job.

I'm curious what you mean by design-build, because it means different things to different people. Maybe 10% of our work is design-build as we use the term, with us as contractor hiring the designers, and the owner getting everything single-source. It's not the most common method in Washington state due in part to our tax laws. Though we compete well with this method.

75% of our company's work is negotiated, where we work alongside the architect as an equal, and are hired early so we can collaborate on design. For these projects, qualifications, reputation, relationships, and personality typically matter as much as anything. If we submit a price it's often just for fee -- though fee is often a deciding factor.

Personally I like the low-bid stuff, because I typically don't have to do anything! And sometimes we need a quick-start project or two to keep the workload even.

Are there any curtain wall / facade designers on here - I need to recruit some!

Ideally in UK or Dubai - but may consider overseas if willing to relocate.

Is there anything good that's not much math yet not TOO much drawing?

Currently work as a planner for an international firm of chartered surveyors, but in two weeks will begin working for a planning consultancy based in central London, specialising in tall buildings and major commercial projects.

doing first year in "Architectural Technology." When i finish this 3 year program, i hope go into university and get a degree in architecture

First year Computer Engineering student at the University of Waterloo, Canada. Hoping to specialize in VLSI systems and work on graphics processors/CPU. Which has nothing to do with architecture except maybe architects will be using them for CAD...

Its a 5 year program, but I go to Co-op every 4 months. (study 4 months, work 4 months, etc) Working at ATI would be awesome... 5 minutes from home... :)

Probably most of you guys haven't heard of the school if ur outside Canada :p :bash:

If it wasn't for computers, I was actually interested in architecture :)

I am thinking to pursue architecture course in the future. By the way, architecture is more related to Art or Engineering? This has been confusing me for a long time. Hope to get some usefull advice from those who are currently pursuing architecture course.

It depends on the university and it's course syllabus. Most univerisites in the US and UK tend to be leaning towards the engineering side, while Australia, Canada, NZ etc are more on the Arts side. and this is for most case not all.

My friend read IM Pei's birography and he told me that IM Pei studied at MIT and his architectural degree made him felt like civil engineering coz he did so much math.

Arcitecture is much more related to art then to engineering. In most countries the work is saperated. The arcitect has to invent and the building-engineer has to do it.
I will start to study art and ercitecture in 2005. In Stuttgart.

the vast majority of architects dont build skyscrapers, and the chance of a project having unlimited funds (to alow unlimited aesthetic pleasure) are very few and far between.
BUDGETS hold it back, the client will consider Value for Money, size, even construction time.
Thats why if you ever see a 'odd' building its usually govt funded because only govts can aford to waste money. cos its not theirs.

I think that alot of you students will get a big shock when (if) you ever qualify and then 'if' you ever find employment.
Because it will be 'welcome to the real world'

Starting my second year of University majoring in Industrial Engineering...

I have a passion for urban planning (or else I wouldn't be in SSC :wink2:), but there seem not to be many jobs for UP around here...eh, oh well. My dreams of urban planning will stay in the virtual world on SimCity. :nuts:

I'm thinking of switching majors to Accounting or Finance. I've noticed that I have more of a passion of dealing with money than with methods of production. I'm only a Sophomore, so I still have some time.

I was doing Accounting...I gotta tell you, you really have to like it, as you get deeper and deeper into the material, I was asking myself is this what I wanna be doing? I didn't have the passion for it. Finance is more fun IMO, but I don't like to deal with numbers personally, so who knows, depends on your interests.

Methods of production...kind of ties into operational management.

Thanks for the advice! :)

I'm trending towards Finance more...I'm actually a good fan of numbers and the banking system. A friend of mine is an Accounting Major and has been telling me to avoid it like the plague! The course material in Industrial Engineering is much more drier than I originally thought.

My options are still open however...but whatever decision I make will have to be final.
I'm running out of time to be so fickle...:lol:

As a person who is damn comfortable with his numbers, accounting sounds more fun than being a physicist, actuary, mathematician or logician.

I've just finished my IGCSE exams and i want to do an architecture course and finally go into urban planning in the future. So what subjects do you think I should take for my AS & A levels?

I am studying Bachelor of Arts (Architectural Studies) in the University of Hong Kong. The coming week will be my 2nd year of studying. Being an architect is a long long way to go...till now I am not 100% sure I will become an architect...may be to be an urban planner :b

same.
IE is the way to go.
It is also easy to go to finance with an engineering degree, than the other way around. Consulting is also an option, something like 60% of our graduating class go work for consulting companies like McKinsey&Company, Accenture, Bain&Company, Monitor Group etc...

As a person who is damn comfortable with his numbers, accounting sounds more fun than being a physicist, actuary, mathematician or logician.
accounting is more about analyzing and communication than just number crunching, of course attention to detail is important but accounting does not involve any hard core math you will see in finance, engineering, or actuarial science...
accounting also does not need programming...finance involves a lot of programming.

Many people are here only from interest of highrise buildings and enjoying good architecture :)

... and some do not care about architekture. Where and how fast the development takes place is important, but not how the buildings look like. Who am I to judge the visual form since I am not certified designer ;)
I do like some architekture but remembering that none element works on its own (like a building in a city) I focus more on a bigger scale and less on visual aspects.

hi guys i was wondering since i am still young (13 yrs old) i was wondering whats the best stuff out there, i was thinking architecture would do for me but now i am confused and if it helps i like designing, planning, drawing and i like future visions.

and for universitys as i live in Doha, Qatar which is in the middle east and we have here in Qatar a place named Education City with all kinds of universities !

we have:

Carnegie Mellon University Qatar
Georgetown University School of Foreign Service in Qatar
Texas A and M University
Virginia Commonwealth School of the Arts in Qatar
Weill Cornell Medical College

so which one is good ?

thank you :D

I'm doing Interior Design (Architecture) at Salford University but kind of second guessing it know. I'd prefer to just do Architecture.

From a recent trip meeting some of my reletives for the first time, the introduced me to the opportunities that you can get through doing a business degree. But I also have a passion of Architecture (mainly design) and I dislike maths... Hmmm.

I just hope it all works out in the end.

Studying Civil Engineering.
Don't know yet if I will focus on buidlings or transportation.

I have a question here:

Are urban studies/planning and civil engineering related?

Will be graduating in 2010 with bachelor degrees in Civil Engineering and Commerce (Financial Accounting and Corporate Finance). Haven't quite made up my mind which career to pursue; something I'm good at (engineering) or something I enjoy (commerce).

I have a question here:

Are urban studies/planning and civil engineering related?


Totally.

Specially if your Civ.Eng minor is Design/Construction Water Supply Facilities, Water Quality, etc.

Transportation, Design/Construction.

Urban Planning will set you upon the area of intervention and the needs, so you can decide according to your criteria, what "thing" should be applied.

For now, working as webdesigner, studying computer programming in university, thinking about to open my own company as soon as i can. :)

I'll have to change my info to "lighting designer"

:(
You know you can major in more than one area? For example, I'm about to change my major from political science to both political science and geography, with a minor in history. Or, you can also just go general education major and take different classes until you figure out what you like best.

I didn't know what I wanted to do straight out of high school, so I took about 3 years off before returning to college and I think it really helped me set definite goals. Of course, this approach doesn't work for everyone.

Me, I'm hoping to continue on to graduate school for urban planning at a university nearby. However, no matter what you end up with as your major, the good thing about the US is that you can pretty much go into most graduate schools anyway. It's more dependent on how your grades were, what college or university you went to, and, of course, how much money you're willing to spend. ;)

Hope that helps.

PD: Hope you define it only as your job and never become a hobby, otherwise, your presence in these forums would be a matter of disturbance. :shifty:
