Editing Bachelor of Engineering (section)

=== Canada ===
In [[Canada]], degrees awarded for undergraduate engineering studies include the ''Bachelor of Engineering'' (B.Eng. or B.E., depending on the institution); the ''{{lang|fr|Baccalauréat en génie}}'' (B.Ing., the French equivalent of a B.Eng.; sometimes referred to as a {{lang|fr|Baccalauréat en ingénierie}}); the ''Bachelor of Applied Science'' (B.A.Sc.); and the ''Bachelor of Science in Engineering'' (B.Sc.Eng.).

The [[Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board]] (CEAB), a division of the [[Engineers Canada]], sets out and maintains the standards of accreditation among Canadian undergraduate engineering programs. Graduates of those programs are deemed by the profession to have the required academic qualifications to be licensed as professional engineers in Canada.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.engineerscanada.ca/e/pr_accreditation.cfm|title=About accreditation - Engineers Canada|date=8 April 2014|website=engineerscanada.ca|access-date=9 November 2014|archive-date=19 October 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131019054242/http://www.engineerscanada.ca/e/pr_accreditation.cfm|url-status=dead}}</ref> This practice is intended to maintain standards of education and allow mobility of engineers in different provinces of Canada.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.engineerscanada.ca/canadian-engineering-accreditation-board|title=Accreditation Board - Engineers Canada|date=8 August 2013|website=engineerscanada.ca|access-date=19 October 2014|archive-date=19 October 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151019191738/http://www.engineerscanada.ca/canadian-engineering-accreditation-board|url-status=dead}}</ref>

A CEAB-accredited degree is the minimum academic requirement for registration as a professional engineer anywhere in the country and the standard against which all other engineering academic qualifications are measured.<ref name="apegm1">{{Cite web

}}</ref> Graduation from an accredited program, which normally involves four years of study, is a required first step to becoming a professional engineer. Regulation and accreditation are accomplished through a self-governing body (the name of which varies from province to province), which is given the power by statute to register and discipline engineers, as well as regulate the field of engineering in the individual provinces.

Graduates of non-CEAB-accredited programs must demonstrate that their education is at least equivalent to that of a graduate of a CEAB-accredited program.<ref name="apegm1"/>
