Debating with doc regarding Architecture and Engineering

Last night, i had an appointment with the doctor for my health issues. While doing some check-up, he asked me questions regarding my working life until this :

doc : So where do u work?
me : at Ampang Hilir, an architectural firm
doc : ooh~ so u are an engineer??
me : err no.. im an architect (almost)
doc : yalah, engineer la kan?
me : No! im an architect.
doc : isn't Architecture under Engineering? bukan sama ke??
me : [getting defensive] No, it is not!
doc : really? i though it is the same???
me : No!

Dear citizens, Architecture is NOT under Engineering. According to my understanding after 4 and a half year of studying and almost 1 year working experience (including practical training), Architecture is the whole, while Engineering is more to specific. Architecture is the process or its field of work that always associated with creativity/art, consists of designing and constructing a building or space. Engineering on the other hand is the deeper level in constructions, which is the system and structure of the building/space. It implemented the knowledge of mathematics, physics & others law of science into the construction to achieve the perfect structure.

Search the internet if u are disapproving. Net is the biggest library in the world.
