There have been a lot of posts like this that boil down to "software engineering should be more like other engineering". What I find in all these threads is that people seem to think that just because there are certain standards and certification bodies that license engineers that all engineers of that sort participate. They don't. Computer engineers, electrical engineers, mechanical engineers, aerospace engineers, and probably more that I'm not specifically familiar with, design things like: cellular antennas, CPUs, rocket engines, spacecraft, EV charging stations, etc without these heavyweight certification structures. I tend to think we're better off without all that unnecessary red tape. There are better ways IMO to ensure that critical systems are engineered properly than to make engineers pay to take tests and pay license dues. I am also not generally a fan of saying that some body is in charge of all engineering standards for something.
