Hehe, same thing in Texas.
In fact one of my customers is the Professional Engineers Board, who will ask folk lacking the P.E. license to not advertise as an Engineer, and remove the term from their business cards.
I think you are safe saying you are an engineer, just not professional... :-) Looks like its true for a lot of states. In California, http://www.dca.ca.gov/pels/ reports (quote) <p align="center"><b>3. Professional Engineers Defined</b></font> </p> <p><b>Professional engineers</b> apply their education and skills to design and analyze buildings, bridges, dams, roads, communication systems, electrical power distribution systems, complex heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems, and many other products and systems. </p> <p>It is unlawful for anyone to practice or offer to practice civil, electrical, or mechanical engineering or to represent himself or herself as or use the title of "Civil," "Electrical," or "Mechanical" engineer, unless currently registered by this Board. It is also unlawful for anyone other than a professional engineer registered by this Board to use the titles "Professional Engineer," "Registered Engineer," or "Consulting Engineer." </p> (endquote) --woody -- Robert Wooddell Weaver email: woody@wiltelnsi.com Network Engineer voice: 510.773.7420 Williams Communication Data Group pager: 5107737420@page.nextel.com [metrocall has better reception] pager: =5107024334@metrocall.com
