Information Architect

Is it a good idea to switch careers from Engineer to Architect?

What if one started as an Engineer, and then later became an Architect?

I agree with NJ. Engineering is much more stable right now. I live in DC, where the economy is being propped up by federal government projects and I know a lot more architects that are finding it tough to find jobs than engineers.

Also, would you rather have a science degree or an art degree? I have noticed that people seem to give a little more credibility to people with science degrees. Of course, architects also get all the credit.

Electrical engineers are always in high demand. Mechanical engineers can work in just about any field.

21st Century Security and CPTED: Designing for Critical Infrastructure Protection and Crime Prevention $97.95 Once overlooked as a minor and ineffective tactic in the mitigation and prevention of terrorism and violent crime, Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) has undergone dramatic changes since the September 11 attacks. The most up-to-date reevaluation of CPTED since 2000, 21st Century Security and CPTED reflects updates and amendments to the rules for security in the built environment and presents the knowledge and practice of CPTED as applied to today’s world of threats, including street crime, workplace violence, and terrorism. Edited by America’s premier architect, criminologist, and Certified Protection Professional, and boasting contributions from the world’s top CPTED practitioners, this book represents the first collection of CPTED information to be readily accessible to the architectural and law enforcement communities. Facilitating understanding across fields, it explains the architecture process to security directors and the security design process to architects. Providing step-by-step guidelines for applying real-world concepts, principles, and processes for building security and CPTED, the book starts with the risk threat assessment and considers relevant factors and variables all the way through construction and post-occupancy evaluation.
