Comment on Does Perchance.org count as coding/programming?
vzq@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 year agoJust don’t go around calling yourself a “software engineer” or anything like that, as it’s a protected title
Protected where and by whom? Most software engineers aren’t PEs.
Ah, I was wrong. I just checked and it appears that engineer isn’t protected per default (as you stated).
I was thinking about “Civilingeniør” (literal translation would be “civil engineer”, but that is no faithful translation), which everyone who graduates a MSc. in engineering receives, and which is at least protected locally.
Thank you for calling me out.
No worries. We have a similar situation here in nl where “ingenieur” is a protected title, but professional bodies have shown zero interest in policing all the “engineers”.
