Editing Engineer's degree (section)

== Asia ==

=== Indonesia ===
Prior to 2014, Indonesia still uses the Dutch degree classification inherited from [[Dutch East Indies|colonial administration]]. The term "engineer" ([[Indonesian language|Indonesian]]: ''insinyur'' from [[Dutch language|Dutch]]: ''ingenieur'') was used as an academic title, for a bachelor degree in engineering who graduated from a university in the fields of agriculture, forestry, fisheries, and sometimes used in the field of applied science. However, after the academic title of Bachelor of Engineering (''Sarjana Teknik'') (S.T.) was conformed, the title of Engineer (Ir.) was no longer used by universities as an academic title but as a professional title stipulated in the Regulation of the [[Ministry of Education and Culture (Indonesia)|Ministry of Education and Culture]] Number 154 of 2014 concerning Graduate Degree in Science and Technology.

The status of Engineer (Ir.) was thus raised to a professional title similar to the professional titles of Medical Doctor (dr.), [[Dentist]] (drg.), [[Midwife]] (Bd.), [[Nurse]] (Ns.), [[Pharmacist]] (Apt.), [[Accountant]] (Akt.), and [[Psychologist]] (Psi.). In other words, currently not all university graduates who hold an S.T. degree immediately have the right to be called engineers.

Names are traditionally prefixed with the ''ir.'' or ''ing.'' titles or [[Suffix (name)|suffixed]] with the S.T. degree. Use of these titles is regulated and protected by Indonesian law.<ref>[https://peraturan.bpk.go.id/Details/38602 "Undang-undang (UU) No. 11 Tahun 2014 tentang Keinsinyuran"] (in Indonesian)</ref>

The Engineer's Degree in [[Vietnam]] is awarded to students who complete a specialized engineering program at the university level. The duration of these programs can vary depending on the specific program and institution.<ref>{{Cite web |last=PHÓNG |first=BÁO SÀI GÒN GIẢI |date=2024-04-19 |title=Tranh cãi về bằng cử nhân và bằng kỹ sư |url=https://www.sggp.org.vn/tranh-cai-ve-bang-cu-nhan-va-bang-ky-su-post736022.html |access-date=2024-10-04 |website=BÁO SÀI GÒN GIẢI PHÓNG |language=vi}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=ONLINE |first=TUOI TRE |date=2024-03-29 |title=Vì sao nhận bằng cử nhân thay vì kỹ sư? |url=https://tuoitre.vn/vi-sao-nhan-bang-cu-nhan-thay-vi-ky-su-20240329085550671.htm |access-date=2024-10-04 |website=TUOI TRE ONLINE |language=vi}}</ref> The [[Ministry of Education and Training (Vietnam)|Ministry of Education and Training]] (MOET) of Vietnam governs the naming and recognition of degrees.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Công nhận bằng cử nhân, bằng thạc sĩ, bằng tiến sĩ và văn bằng trình độ tương đương do cơ sở giáo dục nước ngoài cấp để sử dụng tại Việt Nam |url=https://dichvucong.gov.vn/p/home/dvc-chi-tiet-thu-tuc-hanh-chinh.html?ma_thu_tuc=1.000915&id_bo_nganh=2 |access-date=2024-10-04 |website=dichvucong.gov.vn}}</ref> Although Vietnam is moving towards alignment with international standards, there might be some variations in [[nomenclature]].
