Most architecture undergrad programs >are 5 year programs ^ Here at Cal Poly (which certainly isn't indicative of the rest of the world), there are 2 architecture degrees. One is just plain Architecture (you know, draw the buildings, come up with great ideas, etc.). They take 1 year of calculus, 2 quarters of Physics, and that's about it. The other degree is Architectural Engineering (still under the Architecture school, though). They are a 5 year program, and take all of the Strength of Materials, statics & dynamics, structural engineering, etc. type of classes. A friend of mine is studying to be an architect also at Washington Univ. (St. Louis), and their architecture program is a 4 year also. Therefore, not all architects are structural engineers. I don't know how all of this pertains to CSc in general, but I'm sure someone out there does :-). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Steve DeJarnett | ...!ihnp4!csun!polyslo!sdejarne | | Computer Systems Lab | ...!{csustan,csun,sdsu}!polyslo!sdejarne | | Cal Poly State Univ | ...!ucbvax!voder!polyslo!sdejarne | | San Luis Obispo, CA 93407 | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #include
