English term or phrase: advanced engineering degree
He has advanced engineering degrees from the University of X and the University of Y. (gemeint sind Unis in den USA)

Was ist ein "advanced degree"? Ist das das Aleiche wie ein postgraduate degree? Oder mit einem in Deutschland möglichen Aufbaustudium zu vergleichen?

Könnte man vielleicht sagen: Er hat nach dem Aufbaustudium an der University of X und der University of Y Universitätsabschlüsse als Ingenieur.

TIA.

höherer (Hochschul-)Abschluss in Ingenieurswissenschaften
Explanation:
advanced degree ist z.B. Master oder Doktor, aber nicht Bachelor ("zu wenig"). Ich denke, an unseren Universitäten etc. gibt es den Begriff "höherer Abschluss" so (noch) nicht, würde man aber so übersetzen.

Diplom


Explanation:
"advanced degree" is a graduate degree (Master's, M. Sc. in Engineering) in the US
Postgraduate would come after that; it's not a Doctorate, either

I've worked in this area for years
