The thinking in Canada is that engineer brings with it liability for the work so programmers don't use it here. It offends engineers if you use that word in you

The thinking in Canada is that engineer brings with it liability for the work so programmers don't use it here. It offends engineers if you use that word in your title. The only exception I've seen is electrical engineers that of course have a fair bit of coding. But I don't think I've seen them really use it much in their programming job descriptions even though they wear the engineering ring.
