    Dear Victoria University of Wellington,
Please disclose the following information under the Official Information Act 1982:
Regarding the academic recognition status of the Bachelor of Science in Electronic and Computer Systems (3-year degree) offered by your university.
Given that the content of this programme significantly overlaps with that of the 4-year Bachelor of Engineering with Honours in Electronics and Electrical Engineering (which is recognised under the Washington Accord), please disclose the following:
1. Has this Bachelor of Science degree ever been submitted by the university to Engineering New Zealand for evaluation to determine whether it may be recognised as equivalent to the Sydney Accord or Dublin Accord standard, for the purpose of professional engineering registration (e.g., as an Engineering Technologist or Engineering Technician)?
2. If it has not been recognised to date, please also disclose whether the university has any intention or plan to apply for such accreditation in the future, to enable graduates of this programme to qualify for registration as Engineering Technologists or Engineering Technicians.
Yours faithfully,
Linda
