There has been some disagreement as to whether the PDEng is a legally-recognized degree in the Netherlands. While there aqre references showing the degree's accreditation in the article itself, there are no references indicating that it is not legal.

If you have reliable references to show that the PDEng is not a legal degree and title in the Netherlands, please provide them here. UserTester (talk) 12:46, 25 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The name "Professional Doctorate in Engineering" is utmost opportunism; they sell it or do suggesting it like it is a doctoral degree, but it is neither a recognized degree neither a legal doctorate. It is only a recognized education bearing this name and at the most maybe a legally recognized 'professional qualification', but in no way a doctorate! In the Dutch law ("Wet op het hoger onderwijs en wetenschappelijk onderzoek", Artikels 7.22, 16.12, en 16.14 + Regeling doctorstitel godgeleerdheid of wijsbegeerte) is specificly layed down how and when someone is allowed to be awarded a doctoral degree and this education does not in the least qualify for that. Everytime when someone tries to add a text which explicitly explain that this isn't a doctorate, someone else removes this clarification. Demophon (talk) 20:10, 26 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
