Editing Engineer's degree (section)

== Latin America ==
In [[Latin America]], a degree or title of "Ingeniero" is awarded after completing five years of college.<ref>{{Cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=pAttMJho78IC&dq=In+Latin+America,+a+degree+or+title+of+%22Ingeniero%22+is+awarded+after+completing+five+years+of+college.&pg=RA2-PA51 |title=Higher Education |date=1950 |publisher=Higher Education Division, United States Office of Education, Federal Security Agency. |language=en}}</ref> This may be translated as "[[Engineer]]", however, its international academic equivalence depends on each country's educational system and can be compared to a six-year post-master's degree. Its award may imply obtaining a state [[licence]] to legally practice in the field or a [[professional certification]] outside the academic environment.

=== Chile ===
Chile's higher education system differs from the US model, with a six-year "Título Profesional en Ingeniería" granting the title of [[engineer]]. This professional title encompasses a bachelor's degree in science, allowing graduates to enter a master's or doctoral program.  Alternatively, graduates can proceed directly to a doctorate after the six-year program.  Therefore, a Chilean professional title in engineering is academically equivalent to a six-year post-master's degree.
