<p>Is the B.Sci at McGill recognized internationally like the B. engineering is? For example what McGill says about their own bachelors of engineering degree is: “Very
importantly, all McGill engineering degrees are recognized by the Canadian
Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB) of the Canadian Council of
Professionals Engineers (CCPE) and, through international agreements, are
equally recognized by professional bodies in Australia, France, Hong Kong,
Ireland,New Zealand, South Africa, the U.K. and the U.S.”</p>
<p>Would the bachelors of science have something equivalent to that? Or is this a stupid question because they are different departments?</p>
<p>I don;t know anything about McGill.
As a Hong Kong-born student, I have never heard of McGill until I began to search for a college. Maybe I was too young. Moreover, it’s a Canadian school. I suppose most people only know schools from Germany, UK and US.</p>
<p>However, just my 2 cents, and I hope I am not fooling myself:</p>
<p>When they say “recognized”, they probably mean they have alumni from those lands, and professors have been invited to give guest lectures at those places.</p>
<p>Why you are so concerned about this “international recognition”? Are you an international student? Or do you plan to work outside of Canada?</p>
<p>“When they say “recognized”, they probably mean they have alumni from those lands, and professors have been invited to give guest lectures at those places.”</p>
<p>Actually no that’s not what they mean. They mean that the degree from McGill is recognized as a legitimate science, engineering, etc. degree. Usually it also means it’s equal to the education that any one of the foreign country’s school provide.</p>
<p>Also McGill is VERY highly ranked. It’s basically the Harvard of the North.</p>
<p>I don’t know if the sciences have accreditation boards, but usually they don’t need any. Engineers need it because they will needs to pass tests/be accreditated to work in usually any country.</p>
<p>The education is recognized - but does it means the engineers can practice at those foreign places without attaining the local license? That’s probably what the OP is asking.
If only education is equivalent (I really don’t have a better word), I don’t see the motive of that statement. Similarly, MIT, Caltech, just any famous engineering school here will provide standard engineering education. Maybe exceptions of the materials being covered because those places are very European (actually UK-influenced). I would refer those as “European education”. That would be the difference between McGill and MIT.</p>
