So... basically... you create digital models that will eventually be turned into real life products? Does this apply to only housing structures or do you get into other things as well like bridges and the such?

I’m glad I changed from my Civil Engineering major. Using AutoCAD is a pain in the behind.
Haha
AutoCad is a basic program costing around $3 thousand USD. I use a 3-d modeling software costing up to $60 thousand USD. However, I did use AutoCad occasionally. I hope you didn’t spend too much time in Civil Engineering because in no way does structural engineering look like civil. Civil is based on roads, parking lots, etc.

So what’s the real difference? You seem to create models for structures, isn’t that what architects do?
No. An architect will basically design the appearance of the building. A structural Engineer will put all the structural components into the architects design. Okay, think of a human body as a building...An architect will design the appearance and dimensions of the body while Structural would put the bone structure, ligament, joints, cartilage, muscle, etc to support the body’s weight and stress forces.
