Bacharelado em Engenharia com honras

My comment:

o certo seria 'com distinção'
mas, 'with honours' parece ser um tipo diferente de formaçao

veja:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_degree_abbreviations#Bachelor.27s_degrees
Bachelor's degrees
In England, Northern Ireland and Wales, almost all bachelor's degrees are awarded as honours degrees, sometimes indicated by '(Hons)' after the degree abbreviation without a space, for example 'BA(Hons)'.

Primeiro grau: apenas honras permitirá ao aluno ir a graus mais elevados.


Grau ordinária:
B. Eng (Bacharelado em Engenharia): 1 ano adicional na Escócia e no chamado grau ordinário com honras)

Distinção

My comment:

In European Portuguese we normally say "Licenciado em Engenharia com distinção em Engenharia Aero-espacial" which means "Bachelor of Engineering with Honours Aerospace Engineering".
Distinção means to perform exceptionally good.

Honras

My comment:

if the context followns on "to graduate with honors"
Portuguese (Brazil) will follow as "formar-se com honras" or "formou-se com Honras" (3º person/ past tense). Portugal will be more common using "graduar-se com Honras" or "graduou-se com Honras"
