The Bachelor of Engineering, abbreviated as B.E., B.Eng., or B.A.I. (in Latin form) is an undergraduate academic degree awarded to a student after four to five years of studying engineering at an accredited university. In the UK, a B.Eng degree will be accredited by one of the Engineering Council's professional engineering institutions as suitable for registration as a incorporated engineer or chartered engineer. In Canada the degree from a Canadian university can be accredited by the CEAB.
