I have a question, is Bachelor Science in Electronics Engineering and Bachelor of Technology in Electronics Engineering both considered Electronics Engineering degree. Now there is also a Bachelor Science in Electronics Engineering Technology, and Bachelor of Electronics Engineering Technology. The later BEET seems to me the same as Bachelor of Technology in Electronics Engineering and is different from BScEET its looks the same as BTech EE What are your toughs? For example an ITT graduate if he is in New York his degree is not Bachelor of Science but they call it Bachelor of Technology. Wile the same program from ITT California is Bachelor Of Science in Electronics Engineering. To add to the confusion there is also BEng - from Stevens Institute of Technology or California National University Bachelor of Engineering.
It doesn't matter. For practical purposes, the differences between differences in engineering or technology degrees in the US are not defined by the title of the bachelor's degree -- instead, they are defined by ABET accreditation status. In other words: (1) Does the degree have ABET accreditation? (2) If so, does it have ABET/EAC accreditation (for engineering degrees) or ABET/TAC accreditation (for technology degrees) ? ABET doesn't care what the degree is called. For example, ABET says that the difference between a BS in engineering and a BEng can be summarized as follows: So a BEng degree from Stevens and a BS Engineering degree from Rutgers have different names, yet in practice they will be treated as equivalent, because they are both ABET/EAC. On the other hand, a BEng degree from Stevens and a BEng degree from California National have similar names, yet in practice they will be treated quite differently, because Stevens is ABET/EAC and California National is not. The exact degree title is meaningless. Instead, look up the degree at abet.org to determine its status.
I don't think they are the same but a guy at my job has an engineering technology degree and his title is process control supervisor. The guy he replaced was an engineer so I guess it depends on the company. He worked as an instrumentation tech before he graduated and moved up. They probably don't know the difference. I'll tell you this much, he is really good at his job and he knows it. He a cocky bastard. Below is the degree he completed. NSU | Engineering | Bachelor of Science Electronic Engineering Technology
Thanks for the info a specially the ABET. I should have known this as 10 years ego I served on ABET accreditation board. I guess my question is a non ABET or even RA degree. Lets say Bachelor of Technology in Electronics Engineering, is it the same as Bachelor of Electronics Engineering Technology. One NA school in NY its ITT I think has the B Tech EE wile NA accredited World College had the other one. Are they both Engineering degrees or Engineering Technology degrees? In the USA, The Bachelor of Technology degree is awarded after completion of a 4 year program. Many of the colleges and universities offering this degree are located in the states of Alaska (INDS), Florida, New York (New York City College of Technology, State University College at Buffalo, SUNY Morrisville), Illinois (Chicago), Missouri (Northwest Missouri State University), Nevada, South Carolina, Oklahoma (Northeastern State University) and Virginia. For example World College located in Virginia offers Bachelor of Technology degrees.
