In most of the US, putting "engineer" near
your name doesn't require that
you hold an engineering certification. For instance, my official title
at my day job is "senior software engineer" but I've never taken a single
software nor engineering course, much less certification exam, in my life.
False. In most states of the U.S., if you represent yourself as an engineer
of any kind, and you are not a licensed engineer, you are committing a
crime,
albeit a misdemeanor.
Texas is leading the nation in trying to change this.
