The difference is the scale factor. E.g. scale factor 1:100 means 1 m in reality is represented by 1 cm on an engineering drawing or model.
In the English system of length measurement the two scales most commonly used are the engineer's scale which is denominated in factors of 10's such as tenths, hundredths, etc. of an inch; the architectural scale which denominated in 1/32, 1/16, 1/8, etc. of an inch. The most common ruler used by school kids are based on 1 inch with subdivisions for 1/16th of an inch.
Becasue civil engineers must deal with larger areas to depict on drawings, the scale must be finer to entail the scopoe of earthwork and road development, etc.
Since architect's do not deal in acres or thousands of square feet or miles of roads, the scale that they use needs to be able to illustrate more detail.
An engineer scale has markings for 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 feet per inch. There are 10 subdivisions per foot.
THEME OF STUDY ( NOT ONLY FOR MONEY )
Dear,
Thank you, am also fine like you then dear please am one 22years experienced power electronics engineer from that my suggestion to you is all engineering fields are good in all countries not only in india means the feeling of good depends on almost busy in job with more interest because what you got job is fully related to your studied engineering. what i want to inform to you is please take the branch of engineering for study to be any thing but very good back ground support by some body for best future
