ARE CENG AND IENG EQUAL IN STATUS

Moshe Waserman:
Daniel,

Many colleges and university's have limit on credit transfer, they will allow up to 75% of the degree to be transferred credit as long as the credit matches the accepting institutions program didnt pass the limitation in years, how old and has appropriate acreditation. So there is no contradiction. Even if you try to earn second bachelors degree you will be allowed to transfer 90 of the 120 credits required.( except the big 3 colleges  in US, Excelsior College accepts 116 of the 120 credits in transfer)

The policy is determined by the accepting institution. Some can reject completely some can grant partial credit and some can grant full credit etc.

As to my Bachelors degree:

On the diploma it states degree of  Bachelor's in Electronic Engineering Technology.  The College calls it Bachelors of Technology degree.

It has 139 semester credits distributed the following way:

53 Semester Credits: General Education, Math, Sciences, Humanities and Social Sciences.

63 Semester Credits: Electronics Engineering Technology.

23 Semester Credits: Computer Engineering Technology.

Typical US Bachelors degree is 120 semester credits.  We have BA - Bachelors of Art, BSc bachelors of Science and as you see Bachelors of Technology degrees and there also BSW such as Bachelors in Social Work. The difference between bachelors of science and bachelors of technology is the concentration, the BSc concentrates heavier of physics and other science classes, the Bachelor of Technology concentrates heavier on Technology and other practical or applied classes.

Today I can use BEET or BTEE   to describe  Bachelors degree in Electronics Engineering Technology.

One of my other credentials from EU it also was evaluated as BEng(hon) I can put it as well but it creates confusion.

Our College's Institute also offered an Associate in Applied Science degree in Engineering Technology as a 2 year FT or 4 Years PT and usually the persons who earned the AASEET degree (first 2 years of BEET or BCET degree) would continue for additional 2 years to earn the BEET degree. So in US its a bachelors degree and I never tried to compare it to the canadian system, I don't know what is canadian equivalent as it has additional year and more credit hours then a 3 year diploma.

My LCGI in electronics was earned based on my Air Force Technician and Advanced Technician education (It had to be evaluated by NARIC UK) and years of experience that satisfied C&G to award LCGI in Electronics. Before that I completed vocational high school 12 forms with a trend of 4 years in Electronics. I also studied in IOU and Technicon - Israeli Institute of Technology and even at ICS what got me in to Institution of the Engineers and Technicians in London in 1984.

I will gladly answer other questions or concerns, clarifications etc.

​So Moshe,   Even after all your response,   I guess you are actually saying that you received many Semester credits using your GCGI  and LCGI'S,. which allowed you to enter the final year of the 4 year programme for your Bachelor of Technology Degree and which most likely you completed in a year.? 


Yes or no.

EngTech and Licentiateship (LCGI)

• Engineers Australia.

• The Hong Kong Institution of Engineers.

• The Institution of Engineers New Zealand.

• hold either a Washington Accord (CEng registration), Sydney Accord (IEng registration) or Dublin Accord* (EngTech registration) qualification or substantially equivalent academic qualification.

• There have been a number of earlier initiatives intended to 'reinvigorate' IEng but they have all failed to get any traction.

• Further efforts to promote IEng will fail as there is no appetite within any of the PEI's to promote something may detract from the gold standard grade of CEng. 

• Having two grades for a professional engineer just creates confusion.

• No other countries are succesful in registering technologists in significant numbers. Whether it is the UK, America, Australia or New Zealand.

• Combining IEng with EngTech would give a real boost to the vocational route into engineering.
