Just came across this article today which is very relevant to the discussion.

I also have an Electrical Engineer degree, and am currently employed as a Software Engineer. While I don't have a P.E. for either I am certainly and Engineer and will call myself one.
I don't need a license to be an Engineer.

Thanks for following up and posting well over a month later! Much appreciated.

Article definitely generates some thoughts, and I certainly don't know enough about professional titles and engineering in the US to comment. Always interesting to compare the difference between countries.
