European here. You answer is the most ridiculous answer here.
Here if you are not an ACTUAL Engineer with a Degree, on civil issues with harms you could be jailed, and your manager would suffer the same fate.
Here being an Engineer is a SERIOUS duty, you half assed software "Engineer" titles would be void upon regularizing your academic earnings. Mostly a Trade/Vocational Degree and that's it. Harsh? Human lives are a serious issue.
