Bachelor of Technology is an undergraduate academic degree conferred after completion of a three or four year program of studies at an accredited university or accredited university-degree level college in the Commonwealth of Nations, Norway, Republic of Ireland, the United States, and other countries. The common abbreviation for Bachelor of Technology is B.Tech., or B.Tech.(Hons), if awarded with honours.
The degree is awarded to those who have undertaken a Bachelor of Science degree program supplemented by either occupational placements (e.g., supervised practica or internships) or practice-based classroom courses. Due to the supplemental requirements, the degree normally takes at least four years.
In Australia, the Bachelor of Technology programs are three to four years in duration. The B.Tech.(Hons) designation is awarded to graduates of the four year program.
In Israel,the B.Tech. degrees are awarded only by academic colleges in fields of engineering, and are considered inferior comparing with B.Sc degrees which are awarded by universities.
In India, the Bachelor of Technology degree is used by the highly ranked Indian Institute of Technology (IITs), Indian Institute of Information Technology (IIITs), National Institutes of Technology (NITs), Dhirubhai Ambani Institute of Information and Communication Technology (DA-IICT) and Institute of Chemical Technology (ICT formerly UDCT) for professional engineering programs. Most other institutions in India use the Bachelor of Engineering (B.E.) degree.
In Canada, most programs are four years in duration. An example is the Canadian Coast Guard College programs for Officer training which have a placement component onboard ships, whose graduates are awarded a Bachelor of Technology in Nautical Sciences degree. The Bachelor of Technology degree was used by Ryerson University for programs with an additional laboratory component or studio component. Those taking such programs are now awarded a Bachelor of Science degree.However now a days alot of colleges in canada are offering Bachelor of Technology degree.Some of the colleges are mohawk College, Niagara College, Algonquin College and Fanshawe College.
The degree is no longer awarded in the United Kingdom. Those who take such programs are more commonly awarded a Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) degree.
