He has an iron ring and works in the field and graduated from an engineering program. What should he call himself? He should only be barred from calling himself a "Professional Engineer".
Does the general public have this value connection to the term "engineer"? Because I don't think that's the case - I hear everyone use the term to describe those working in the field.

- i67vw3 3y agoAs far as I know, in US/Canada after a students graduates from a civil engineering course, he is called as Engineer In Training (EIT) after he passes Fundamental of Engineering (FE) exam. Then he has to work for 3/5 years at a engineering firm. He will then have to pass Professional Engineering (PE) exam to be called PE. I think he also has to get two recommendations from other PE's then only he can get certified as PE. Usually, in US you are considered a 'real' engineer only when you get certified as PE.
