most of the engineering companies I've worked far would not let us use the word in email signatures or on business cards unless we were licensed




but at the same time, i see "engineers" of all types, from garbage men, to janitors, to CAD engineers, so the word is thrown around a good bit


I don't see how Lapels owns the rights to the word or whatever, but I know it is considered a pretty big deal for a non-licensed engineer to advertise engineering services

I've worked with (and for one of) several of the ENR top 20 and I can tell you they all use engineer to describe both office and field entry level employees.

These people are not providing engineering services, but in the field do layout and front line supervision. In the office they do the administrative paper pushing. Again we've gone off into a ticky tack tangent but it's the OT...
