Swedish term or phrase: Dpl, Civiling, Fil.Mag., Ir

Hello

I have a list of common titles in many languages, and I need to have their translations in English.

Here are the titles that I have doubts for:
http://i.imm.io/n0wh.jpeg
1st column - title
2 - comment
3 - language
4 - translation

Could you please confirm if my assumptions are correct and provide translation?

This is a question for the term: Civiling

Thank you

P.S.: I added all four terms in the term field because they contain 2-3 letters, and ProZ search engine doesn't like such short terms :) I'll post one question per term.

Civilingenör (graduate engineer)

Explanation:
University degrees are a translation minefield – customers are extremely sensitive about them. Worse, there are hardly ever any exact equivalents. For example, Master's degrees are sometimes research degrees, sometimes taught degrees. Some Master's Degrees are for 2 years, some 1 year. And the fact is that a Civiling has not actually been awarded a Master's degree, but a Civiling degree..
Much safer to leave the degree untranslated, but with some explanation in brackets, eg Civilingenör (graduate engineer)
