used to work for one of these companies, and, believe me, if there was any potential threat of a lawsuit because of the title "Project/Field Engineer", the job title would be renamed.


General electric, Siemens, PHilips, IBM, Toshiba, Etc, they have thousands of Field Engineers, with the title of "Engineer" on their business cards, and probably 95% do not have a formal engineering degree, and I would assume these companies also know what they are doing. As shown on in this job posting from their website, GE will accept a "Equivalent" technical degree for a position as a mechanical engineer.

And, if they presented their cards on a public project in TX, LA, and GA (states I am licensed in) they could be sanctioned technically.

I posted LAPELS wording earlier......its not an assumption. Its a fact.
