Hi all, What is the difference between B.Sc., and B. Eng., and whether Enginnerging grad. will use B.Eng. or B.Sc.? Thank you in advance. Mahamed
If a student studies engineering, some universities will award a BS while others will award a BEng. As far as I can tell, it's just a matter of preference on the part of the university and does not indicate any difference in the nature of the studies. In fact, since virtually all good engineering degrees in the US are accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, there isn't too much room for large differences in the nature of the studies. You could check their web site, www.abet.org. You can probably find a list of which universities offer which degree. When I indicate the degrees I've earned, I use an abbreviation for whatever it says on my diplomas. In my case, that's BS and MS. If I need to be more specific, I'd use BSEE and MSEE, the EE standing for electrical engineering. ------------------ Gerry Ashton
