Tech/Engineering - Construction / Civil Engineering
Dutch term or phrase: industrieel ingenieur bouwkunde
"Je bent industrieel ingenieur bouwkunde of bachelor bouwkunde met tien tot vijftien jaar technische ervaring."

This seems confusing to me. "bouwkunde" Can be translated either as architecture or and civil engineering. The combination with industrieel ingenieur seems rather strange.

Any ideas?
Any references?

agree  Kitty Brussaard: Seems to be an even more 'common' combination than 'industrial construction engineer' (see also Wikipedia and other definitions on the internet)

  -> Thanks. Your remark about 'industrieel' vs 'burgerlijk' in Belgium seems to explain the 'industrial' part very well!

neutral  Saskia Steur: Ik ben zelf bouwkundig ingenieur en heb jaren in het VK gewerkt en ik ben zeer zeker geen structural engineer is een constructeur (in NL) - die vertaling klopt namelijk gewoon niet...

  -> ja ook, zie ik nu. Maar als je onder 'structural' zoekt wordt 'structural engineer' wel degelijk vertaald met 'bouwkundig ingenieur'!
