Editing Bachelor of Engineering (section)

=== Australia ===
In [[Australia]], the ''Bachelor of Engineering'' (BE or BEng - depending on the institution) is a four-year undergraduate degree course and a professional qualification.

The title of “engineer” is not protected in Australia, therefore anyone can claim to be an engineer and practice without the necessary competencies, understanding of standards or in compliance with a code of ethics.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.engineersaustralia.org.au/News/registration-engineers|title=Registration of Engineers &#124; Engineers Australia|access-date=2020-05-15|archive-date=2020-09-27|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200927204817/https://www.engineersaustralia.org.au/News/registration-engineers|url-status=live}}</ref> The industry has attempted to overcome the lack of title protection through chartership (CPEng), national registration (NER) and various state registration (RPEQ) programs which are usually obtained after a few years of professional practice.
