User:Espoo's edit:

The Finnish name derives from the old German degree called Diplom-Ingenieur, an academic degree (in a scientific or technical subject) that is being phased out by the Bologna Process and which was/is granted by universities, institutes of technology, polytechnics, and vocational academies. The degrees granted by these German institutions originally had additions that identified them as not being university degrees, but they are now equivalent. In Finland, however, the engineering degree with no university certification, insinööri (amk), is still not considered equivalent, though this difference is being removed by the Bologna Process.

I think this meandering discussion is liable to create a lot of confusion in readers. The first clause is that which is necessary. The rest goes into excessive detail about the German system, which is only tangentially relevant with respect to this article. If there's some Finnish educational policy axe here to grind, I suggest that more productive forums are available. I wouldn't want this discussion to go to the way of arguing with Swedes whether bilberry fool is blåbärssoppa in English or not. --vuo (talk) 20:32, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
