Engineering degree?
(OP)
Greetings, I'm opening this thread due to a doubt I'm currently facing, while in the making of my CV I had no idea how to "define" my degree for other countries companies.
I'm from Venezuela and I'm confused about what's the equivalent of my degree in the US or UE standars.
I studied a 4.5 years long career plus a half year required internship, after all of that our diplomas state we succesfully achieved before the law the degree of "Aeronautical Engineer". This goes towards every other engineering career, and when I'm making my CV for foreing countries I don't really know in what step of their academic lader I'm in.
Here we have:
Bachiller (I believe this would be a Highschool equivalent, it comprises 5 years of intermediate knowledge required to apply to college)
Tecnico medio (Some schools instead of 5, give 6 years of intermediate and you end up with a Tecnico Medio, it's more like a technician)
T.S.U. (Tecnico superior universitario, 3 years of college, this compromises Infirmary, technicians in aircraft/vehicle maintenace,etc.)
Licenciatura (4.5 years plus thesis or long internship, I'm in this array, just like Lawyers, architects, etc...)
Maestria (Post-graduate studies, more or less 2 years of studies)
Doctorado (Doctorate, I believe we all have the same in this one)
I don't know how to "label" my academic level for any other standards rather than venezuelan, so if anyone could helps I would be thankful!
Thanks in advance.
Andres

RE: Engineering degree?
Chances are, you were ahead of most US college graduates in mathematics by the end of high school.
RE: Engineering degree?
This, and your curious statement, "we succesfully achieved before the law the degree of "Aeronautical Engineer"" seem to imply that you are licensed as an engineer?
