peritus/perita scientiae machinalis
'Peritus' of a man, 'perita' of a woman. This is a perfect passive participle used substantively meaning 'skilled in' and requires the genitive of the art or science in which one is skilled. In classical Latin, 'doctor' means 'teacher, professor' of certain arts and sciences, especially of rhetoric, but not of engineering.

'Doctus' (feminine 'docta') may be used in the same sense as 'peritus' but requires the ablative, with or without the preposition 'in'. It is also sometimes found with the preposition 'ad' + the accusative.

: If you're translating diplomas and this is the degree that is given to someone, you'd better use 'doctor' all the same.

It's not good Latin hee but you're right that it's the usual translation for someone receiving a doctorate. On the other hand, I've rendered thousands of diplomas from Latin > English but no one has yet requested one from me for English > Latin.

: The genitive should be 'aedilitatis' and 'aedilitas' means 'aedileship', the Roman magistracy which was in charge of public works.
