That said, do keep in mind that there are two very different streams of B.Tech and that you need to make sure that the information is applicable to the program you want to go into.
There is a 24-course (theoretically 2-year) DEGREE COMPLETION program for those who have already graduated from college. There is where I am, as a graduate of Mechanical Engineering Technology from Sheridan College, and now I'm part of the Renewable Energy Engineering Technology B.Tech degree.
19841984 is right - it is still very much possible for B.Tech grads to get their P.Eng certification, although you may be subject to more tests/reports and such. It honestly can go on a case-by-case basis. I can't totally speak for the other streams, but based on my studies in Energy, I want to put it out there that the B.Tech program is NOT NECESSARILY EASIER - which seems a common perception, with things like lower admission requirements and more exams to be written for P.Eng. certification. I feel that this is because it's such a NEW program - going through PEO accreditation and building your reputation doesn't happen overnight. Less competition for admission = lower admission requirements.
B.Tech is a very specialized degree, and is definitely for people who know exactly where they want to go and want hands-on experience IN ADDITION to all the hardcore theory. I absolutely love and respect our program chair for putting in so much to this program, and being smaller, you really get to know everyone and you know exactly what you're getting out of your education.
Case in point: As a 3-year Mechanical Technologist, I am subject to learning theory and application in B.Tech Energy that 3rd and 4th year B.Eng Electrical students NEVER get to touch. It is a completely different ball game.
I can only assume that the 4-year degrees are similar, except for the fact that you enter into them straight out of high school.
I apologize if I have rambled a bit much. I'm kind of sick and feverish
