1. An Architect has many important responsibilities - a few are Code Compliance, Specification of Fire and Life Safety Systems (although there are consultants for that now) and Planning.
2. Tell the Client that something isn't possible (although it's always a good idea to have options).
3. Design (it's the best part of the job).
4. Drafting, all the math courses offered, art, world history, anything cultural, and a foreign language (from where the economy is good).
5. Site inspections and Contractor Pay Applications.
6. In the end they are responsible for verifying that construction is in compliance with the design intent (associated with Contractor Pay Application) and Life Safety.
7. It depends on what position you hold (draftsman, designer, Project Architect, Project Manager, Principle, etc.). Project Architect concentrates on the all areas of the project, most time is spent coordinating documents with all disciplines, sometimes produces/reviews architectural design/construction drawings and reviews contractor shop drawings, FRI's, Pay Apps., Permits, etc. It's the position you learn the most in.
8. Bs in Science (Architecture/Engineering)- also depends on how the university sets up the program.
