Subject: Official Information request - Official Information Request –
Accord Recognition of BSc in Electronic and Computer Systems

 

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
