Bachelor of technology

The Bachelor of Technology (latin Baccalaureus Technologie, commonly abbreviated as B.Tech.; with Honours as B.Tech. (Hons.))or B.Tech 4 year degree 16 year education is a graduate academic degree conferred after completion of a three or four-year program of studies at an accredited university or accredited university-level institution. The degree is conferred in the Commonwealth of Nations, the United States and elsewhere.

In Australia, stand-alone Bachelor of Technology (BTech) programs are uncommon. Most of the Australian BTech degrees have engineering and/or information technology as their focus. For example, the Bachelor of Technology offered by Federation University is a three-year information technology degree, while the Bachelor of Technology at the University of South Australia is a three-year exit point from the four-year Bachelor of Engineering degree.

In New Zealand, the Bachelor of Technology (BTech) degrees are engineering programs of four years in duration. Honours is awarded to graduates who achieve a higher standard of excellence (BTech(Hons)).

In Canada, the Bachelor of Technology designation is used inconsistently. Both universities and community colleges award the degree after completion of four-year programs but have different entrance requirements.

Care should be taken not to confuse the B.Tech. degree offered by university-level institutions with the Bachelor of Applied Technology (B.A.Tech.) or BAT offered by some community colleges in Canada. Community colleges are represented by the Association of Canadian Community Colleges (ACCC) and university-level institutions by the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada (AUCC), the national accrediting body of universities in Canada. However, some community college engineering programs have recently been accredited by Engineers Canada following a thorough review by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB), i.e., Conestoga College. CEAB accreditation allows licensing as a "Professional Engineer (P.Eng.)" and ensures that graduates of these programs can continue with graduate engineering studies at traditional universities.
