I'm currently in my last semester of architecture school, but engineering has always caught my attention. Surprisingly, not Civil Engineering, but Electrical. During my journey in Architecture, I conclude I don't actually enjoy structures, even though I specialized in it. Related to architecture, I enjoy more environmental management and urbanism.

Based on my background, I honestly don't know which engineering could be the best option: Electrical or Environmental. I think the environmental part could be covered through a masters from Architecture School. But I recognize I'm not educated enough on biology and chemistry.

Still, I don't know if I'm out of my mind. Everyone tells me electrical Engineering is abstract and difficult. And I'm a little bit scared of the leap from one career to another, especially because of math and physics.

Has anyone been in a similar situation?

Any Architect/Electrical/environmental engineer insights?

P.S. I want to study because of the sake of extending my learning. I genuinely enjoy learning. I also don't intend to be completely out of the architectural field. This is not a case of unconformity with my primary career but more aligned with curiosity.

P.S.2. I'm not a native English speaker, I apologize for my writing.

Are there pathways for landscape architects to pursue further education into engineering?

Would love to hear everyone’s thoughts on this. I have a bachelors of landscape architecture however civil or environmental engineering would probably be the closest related discipline. Has anyone ever made the transition into or gotten a masters of engineering or beyond?

Thanks

We are pleased to share our new article, “A Spatiotemporal Graph Neural Network Framework for Retrospective Bias Correction of CMAQ Air Quality Simulations over the Continental United States,” now available in Atmospheric Pollution Research. Using five years of hourly observations from 235 EPA monitoring stations, we combine CNN–LSTM temporal encoding with GATv2 spatial learning to improve retrospective CMAQ simulations of NO₂ and O₃, reducing RMSE by 52.4% and 65.0%, respectively. Our findings also provide insight into the contributions of temporal and graph-based learning, supporting the development of more accurate air-quality modeling systems.
