I'll be brutally honest, it irks me when people dub themselves an Engineer. Unless you have a BE or I think in the States it is a BSE on the wall, you aren't an Engineer any more than one can be a doctor without medical training or a doctorate in philosophy or some higher doctorate, spin doctors excluded.

An old subject, but an interesting one in this application. I believe that all states have legal constraints on the use of the terms "Engineer" and "engineering" when it comes to building and systems design and construction, especially anything that potentially has to do with the health, safety and welfare of the general public. And the usage has nothing to do directly with a degree, it has to do with being a licensed and registered Professional Engineer (PE) in the related discipline, which is done on a state-by-state basis. Calling yourself an Engineer or offering engineering services in such applications not only opens you up to legal charges of practicing without a license, it also implies a degree of liability that you would probably prefer to avoid.I'd say engineer, but we've seen how that goes around here
