Sounds like tech support, not engineering

I have been downvoted to hell for what I'm about to say, but I'm going to say it again anyway.

IT support people are now called engineers. No, I don't like it. No it's not proper "engineering". Yes, language evolves and there's nothing we can do about it. If that's a problem for people, I recommend screaming into the void. It doesn't help, but you feel better after a while.

IMO no engineering degree, no engineer. There’s some exceptions for incredible self taught folks but they’re drowned out by so many others that just use the title without the skill

[-] Hazen@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago

I think most engineers have an understanding amongst each other, regardless of their specialty, we can all teach ourselves to problem solve. So many math and physics classes as an EE just to get to my core classes. It definitely a certain type of person to get through the thick of it.

Major engineering organizations, like the IEEE or the ASME, often require degrees, but do have exceptions built into the rules for on the job experience. So this does happen, and regularly enough that there's consideration for it.
