紐西蘭高等教育委員會正式宣布在2010年新增五所紐西蘭技術學院可提供工程科技學士學位課程
CPIT, Unitec, Manukau
Institute of Technology,
Weltec and Wintec等技術學院可以提供主修為土木電子與機械工程(Civil,
Electrical and Mechanical
Engineering)的三年學位課程，Otago
Polytechnic於2011年亦可提供上述學科之授課
工程學士學位課程為順應國際雪梨工程科技協定(Sydney
Accord for Engineering
Technologist)及為符合紐西蘭大量的就業市場需求而設計。
近幾年來，電機電學工程(electrotechnology)產業大幅成長，隨之產生的基礎建設新建案已在著手進行；有鑑於此，
紐西蘭必須訓練更多具備土木工程背景的畢業生以符合未來高度市場需求。未來市場上對於具備此三種工程技術於一身的工程師需求比例將增加，而目前僅為具備單一技術的工程師；相關課程學位的授與將有助於該產業之永續發展

New Bachelor of Engineering
Technology Degree Available
Tuesday, 22
December 2009
New Zealand's
Tertiary Education
Commission has announced
that the Bachelor of
Engineering Technology has
been approved for delivery
in 2010 across five of New
Zealand’s polytechnics and
institutes of technology.
This approval
confirms that CPIT, Unitec,
Manukau Institute of
Technology, Weltec and
Wintec will be able to offer
the three-year degree
programme with majors in
Civil, Electrical and
Mechanical Engineering.
Otago Polytechnic will be
running the programme in
2011.
The Bachelor of Engineering
Technology has been designed
to comply with the
international Sydney Accord
for Engineering
Technologists, and also to
meet the high industry
demand for engineering
technologists throughout New
Zealand.
According to industry, in
recent years, there has been
tremendous and sustained
growth in the
Electrotechnology sector,
and with the number of new
infrastructure projects
currently being planned, New
Zealand also needs highly
trained graduates with Civil
engineering qualifications.
There is a need for a ratio
of three engineering
technologists to one
engineer. The current ratio
is one to one. The
accreditation of this degree
programme will ensure the
ongoing sustainability of
the industry both now and in
the future.
