To the engineering world:B.Tech. is a practical degree representing a senior technician role. Holders are expected to receive minimal theory and little-to-no design training. They are much better trained in analysis - the primary skill of a technician. Most holders have a hard time finding work as an engineer.B.Eng. is an intermediate degree, with some design and theory, but really focused on mundane engineering tasks - designing based on established principles and techniques. Most holders will work as engineers but face limited advancement opportunities.B.S. or B.Sc. or S.B. are theory/design based degrees, focusing heavily on theory and design principles, often with little application or practice. These are the only ones with real advancement prospects, either in industry or academia, and are the highest paid.Please note that if your program does not match these expectations, you should plan accordingly! If your school requires only slightly more or harder work to get the B.S. instead of the others, do it!Source(s):Working Electrical Engineer (B.S., M.S.)SOURCE<a href="http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090216103526AA4D72T" target="_blank">http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090216103526AA4D72T</a></blockquote>
