This raises the question of what is an engineer? The
following are a
few of the many definitions I have heard.

1. The person responsible for the operation and maintenance
of a
buildings infrastructure.

2. The person who drives a Train.

3. A person who has received an "engineering" degree from a
University.

4. A person licensed to practice "engineering", similar to
the way
Doctors and Lawyers are licensed.

To advertise engineering services in any of the 50 united
states takes #4 above. Registration with the professional
engineering board of the state you offer service in. It is a
crime to offer services or practice electrical engineering
without a the license.

Does not apply to all types of qualified engineers though. Mostly just
electrical and mechanical IME.

I would think Civil engineers too, although we obviously don't have many
of those in this group.


i am not an engineer, but i retired from a civil engineering office.
the requirement is more for signing, sealing and certifying plans.

btw, my job was real estate acquisitions.
