Where I live it would be illegal for them to call themselves engineers unless they were professional engineers as recognized by the provincial engineering certification body which was created a law passed by the provincial legislature. The provincial engineering org does have a computer designation, so they could get licensed and have it official if they were computer engineers, but I'm not sure about software.
