Re: Acronyms for Undergrad Degrees



B Eng is often encountered for Batchelor of 
Engineering.
----------------------------

Brian, since you're the expert, show us some examples 
where the term has been used.  So far as I know in 
the history of the world only Johnny has appended the 
term after his name.  Doing so is illegal in most 
jurisdictions.  In some jurisdictions it is a 
criminal matter.  It is illegal in most jurisdictions 
to imply that you are an engineer if you are not 
registered, just as it illegal to refer to yourself 
as a lawyer if you have not been admitted to the bar.  
It is intended to deceive those who do not look 
closely that he is really an engineer.  It's part of 
his con game.  It is intended to mimic the "R. Eng." 
authentic engineers put after their names.

Moreover, most institutions that grant degrees in 
engineering are B. S. degrees and would be designated 
B. S. Electrical Engineering, etc.  Carleton is 
apparently an exception.  Carleton however does not 
designate their degree as "B. Eng."  That is purely 
Johnny's concoction.

Johnny makes errors so elementary they would 
embarrass a high school physics student.  It is 
difficult to believe they could be made by a person 
who has completed an accredited university's 
engineering curriculum.

I've challenged him to open his student records.
