Editing Engineer (section)

=== Asia and Africa ===
In the [[Indian subcontinent]], Russia, Middle East, Africa, and China, engineering is one of the most sought-after undergraduate courses, for which entrance examinations are highly competitive.

In Egypt, the educational system makes engineering the second-most respected profession in the country (after medicine); engineering colleges at [[Egyptian universities]] require extremely high marks on the [[Thanaweya Amma|General Certificate of Secondary Education]] ({{langx|ar|الثانوية العامة}} ''al-Thānawiyyah al-`Āmmah'') – in the order of 97 or 98 per cent – and are thus considered (along with the colleges of medicine, natural science, and pharmacy) to be among the "pinnacle colleges" ({{lang|ar|كليات القمة}} ''kullīyāt al-qimmah'').{{Citation needed |date=March 2024}}

In the Philippines and [[Overseas Filipino|Filipino communities overseas]], engineers who are either Filipino or not, especially those who also profess other jobs at the same time, are addressed and introduced as ''Engineer'', rather than ''Sir/Madam'' in speech or ''Mr./Mrs./Ms.'' (''G./Gng./Bb.'' in Filipino) before surnames. That word is used either in itself or before the given name or surname.
