Title

[jike]

Is is legal to call yourself an "electrical engineer" on your business card and in proposals to clients when you are only a two year graduate? This person is not a PE but is a licensed "designer" in Wisconsin.

I know if you use the title of "architect" and are not one, the AIA will come after you and you may be prosecuted by the State License Board of Architects.

In the juridiction that I practice in, to use the title "Engineer" on a business card, you need to be a P. Eng. Otherwise, the association, when it has the time, will come around to ask you to stop, should they know about the infringement.

With regards to "Steam Engineer", "Military Engineer" and presumably "Locamotive Engineer", you must also meet the qualifications for those to use the title "Engineer".
