Four Year Engineering Degrees
Four year engineering degrees accredited by IPENZ are recognised as meeting the initial academic requirements for professional engineers. IPENZ is a founding signatory to the Washington Accord, which was signed in 1988. This agreement ensures that all engineering degrees accredited by any of the signatories are recognised as being substantially equivalent by all of the signatories. The other jurisdictions that are signatories to the Washington Accord are Australia, Canada,Chinese-Taipei, Hong Kong-China, Ireland, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, South Africa, United Kingdom and USA. A set of rules and procedures underpins the operation of The Washington Accord. Individual accord signatories give credit for IPENZ accredited degrees gained prior to 1988 at their own discretion.
All four year degrees are assessed against the IPENZ policy "Initial
Academic Requirements for Professional Engineers". Accreditation
visits are conducted in accordance with the
IPENZ Manual for the Accreditation of Engineering Programmes.
The degree title for all four year programmes is Bachelor of Engineering (abbreviated as BE) or Bachelor of Engineering Honours (abbreviated as BE(Hons)) unless otherwise shown. The Bachelor of Engineering may also be awarded with honours.
