Old, but fun read that argues that today’s programmers are not like typical Engineers and shouldn’t really call themselves that as Engineering requires certification, is subject to government regulation, bear a burden to the public, etc.

Engineer is a protected title in the UK. You can be a software engineer, if you are qualified to be.
Wow, I stand corrected. I wonder where I got that from then. Thank you for the link.
Same thing in Ontario. I actually have a Bachelors of Software Engineering, but am not legally allowed to call myself an engineer because I never got certified with the regulatory body.
