Danish term
Canada
akademiingeniør inden for bygningsretningen
Danish to English
Tech/Engineering
Education / Pedagogy
eksamensdiplom fra Danmarks Teknisk Universitet
"Akademiingeniør" is an older term that was replaced with "diplomingeniør," which is the equivalent of a Bachelors of Engineering or a Bachelors of Science (Eng). But what is a meaningful equivalent for "bygningsretningen"?
Many thanks in advance,

B.Sc. in Civil and Structural Engineering
There seems to be disagreement between different sources on how to translate this term. A number of my sources use "graduate engineer" for 'akademiingeniør', and "B.Sc. in Civil and Structural Engineering" to be more specific in this particular case (bygningsretningen)
Note from asker:
| Thank you so much for your suggestions. I've written to the granting institution and have learned that the most appropriate translation for this term is BEng Civil Engineering. |
Discussion
But I'm less concerned with the name of the degree than I am with how that degree is qualified by "inden for bygningsretning." Because "in the construction stream" would not be meaningful for a North American audience. I thought perhaps "Architectural Engineering," based on the streams that DTU currently offers (see: https://www.byg.dtu.dk/english/education), but any advice on that component in particular would be appreciated.
