Let us have a spot on The Steel Structures
We Easily find about7 engineering Roles in Steel Structures
1- Steel Designer..... Must be Civil engineer+advanced studies in Structural Engineering
2-Steel detailer/ modular...... Civil or mechanical engineer
3- Quantity Surveying +Cost estimation + material selection = (Technical office)...... Civil or mechanical engineer
4-steel Production.........commonly mechanical engineer
5-Quality +Welding .......commonly mechanical engineer
6-Steel Erector............. Civil or mechanical engineer
7-Surveying+Civil works.......Must be Civil engineer
So Steel Structure Engineer is a50% Civil &50% Mechanical
Both can work in the steel construction industry ... civil engineers can use their vast knowledge in the theory of structures to do the concept and development of such projects.Also mechanical engineers can use their detailed knowledge of materials such as steel to also work on such projects . i think the best solution is that they should work together in a team so they can complete each other !
both
Both have studied subjects such as "Structures: Estimation and Design" at university and can work in construction although Civil Engineers have wide and more knowledge in Steel Structure Design than a Mechanical Engineer.
On the one hand, Civil Engineers deal with design and construction of structures that are intended to be stationary and a steel structural engineers deal with steel permanent structures. On the other hand, Mechanical Engineers deal with machines and their uses ( so they have to know about materials such as steel)
civil engineer
Both Civil Engineer & Mechanical Engineer
Of couse the Civil engineer>>
As a professional, it depends on the job required as a steel structure engineer. If the works are about the "design of the steel members and connection", it is a job for a Civil Engineer with Masters Degree Major in Structures or even a Bachelors Degree in Civil Engineering with relevant experience in the design of structures (steel and concrete). It is because we have the subjects about design analysis and principles in our curriculum.
A civil Engineer because the high rise buildings, briges, underground utilities, trusses and so many other structures needs a steel sructure civil Engineer.
Both of them
I worked on a steel railway bridge reinforcement.
