* Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Engineering (various specializations): This is the standard and most directly applicable degree. Specializations are numerous and include (but are not limited to): Aerospace, Biomedical, Chemical, Civil, Computer, Electrical, Environmental, Industrial, Manufacturing, Mechanical, and Software Engineering.
* Bachelor of Engineering (BEng): Similar to a BSc in Engineering, this is a widely recognized engineering degree. The differences between BSc and BEng can vary depending on the institution.
* Bachelor of Technology (BTech): Often more focused on the practical application of engineering principles, rather than extensive theoretical study. Common in some parts of the world.
* Bachelor of Science (BSc) in related fields: Degrees in Physics, Mathematics, Chemistry, and Computer Science can provide a strong foundation for certain engineering disciplines. However, further study or supplementary coursework might be needed to meet professional engineering licensing requirements. These degrees might be a stepping stone to a Master's degree in engineering.
It's crucial to understand that even with these related BSc degrees, you might need to undertake additional coursework or a Master's degree to gain the necessary skills and qualifications to work as a professional engineer in many jurisdictions. The specific requirements for professional licensure (like becoming a Professional Engineer or Chartered Engineer) vary significantly by country and even by state/province.
