NOC Education Requirement - Overqualified ?

[bsrketh]

Hi, I am planning to use NOC 2233 which is "Industrial engineering and manufacturing technologists and technicians". This is the only NOC that's matching a bit of my job duties but I have a bachelors in Mechanical engineering and Masters in Industrial engineering.

The employment requirements states

"Completion of a two- or three-year college program or equivalent in industrial engineering technology, pulp and paper technology, plastics technology, textile technology, manufacturing technology or a related discipline is usually required for industrial engineering or manufacturing technologists."

1. Now, can I use this NOC or am I over qualified ?
2. Does Express Entry care about the degree requirements or only if the Job duties match a particular NOC Code?
3. Also I read something about Regulated Jobs. This NOC is regulated. What does that mean?

Appreciate your help

Thank you
