German term

Der Vorsitzende der Diplomprüfungskommission

German to English Social Sciences Education / Pedagogy
Es geht um die Übersetzung eines Diplomzeugnisses (Dipl.-Ing. an einer Technischen Uni) ins AE.
Lasse den Titel als solchen natürlich stehen, will aber darunter eine etwaige Entsprechung in Klammern einfügen.

Meine Idee: Chairman of the Examination Board.

Was meint ihr? Trifft es das? Vorab vielen Dank!

Ken Cox Feb 5, 2009:
Even so, 'Chair' is perfectly acceptable, and it might be a woman next year.
susaphon (asker) Feb 5, 2009:
@ Ken Thanks, but in this case it is a man ;-)
Ken Cox Feb 5, 2009:
With Helen, especially with regard to avoiding ...man
Helen Shiner Feb 5, 2009:
That would be fine. Other examples, depending on the qualification, would be Chair of the [Higher Degrees] Committee. I would tend towards 'Chair' rather than 'Chairman/woman/person'. Just for a quiet life.
Jochen König Feb 5, 2009:
Das trifft den Nagel auf den Kopf. Würde ich auch so nennen.

Chairman of the board of examiners

Ad 2) Practical diploma examination: The practical diploma examination is to immediately follow a student’s successful completion of an internship period preliminary to diploma examinations. Practical examination takes place in the presence of a nursing educator who is also a member of the "Diplomprüfungskommission" (board of examiners) and another member of the "Diplomprüfungskommission". The practical exam is based on real-life nursing situations and patient care. Exact examination procedures are subject to internal school regulations.

Peer comment(s):
agree Charles Rothwell (X) : Agree. (I recently translated this term in a document from Linz University). I agree entirely with Helen and Ken, though, that 'Chair' would be better.
