In Oregon you don't need any certifications whatsoever to call yourself an engineer. I have referred to myself as a waste disposal and sanitary engineer (washing dishes) jokingly, but I bet someone more clever than me could spice their real CV up quite a bit just by creatively titling their previous positions.
America in general doesn't regulate the title "engineer" like some countries do. "Professional engineer" is a legal title, but really the only people who get it are civil and structural engineers who need to sign off on blueprints and take legal responsibility for the design. That and engineers at consulting firms who want fancier sounding titles that make a jury trust them more.
It means you're able to capture enemy buildings, important in today's competitive employment market!
