No, you can't. There are legal restrictions on some titles of
engineering. Nevertheless, one certainly need not be registered to
call themselves an engineer. What's almost always recognized is a

In the US you can in most states anyway. There may be a state or two
where this isn't true, but I'm not aware of any.

North Carolina is one:
"Illegal use of engineer title raises ire of profession"

Did you actually read this article? On page 2 it supports what I said,
not what you claim.

"Ritter says engineers must only be licensed by the state if they are
offering their services directly to the public and not just to their
employer.

For example, an engineer designing roads would have to be licensed, but
someone with engineering training working for Ford to design cars to
drive those roads would not need to be licensed."



Tennessee is another (well, it is even worse in that it is argued that
is is illegal to arbitrarily title oneself a "Software Engineer" in all
50 states!):

"Software Engineering is Illegal" (First part)
"YOU ARE A SOFTWARE ENGINEER!!!" (Second part; rebuttal)

This next article costs money (which I haven't shelled out!) but the
title and the context Google provided suggests it is relevant:

"What Do You Mean I Can't Call Myself a Software Engineer?"

http://csdl2.computer.org/persagen/D...1109/52.805472

Again, these involve offering services to the public, not simply having
a title within a company that includes engineer. I did though in my
searching find one state that apparently doesn't have an industrial
exemption, but the other 49 do last I knew. So, I'll say it again,
unless you are offering services to the public (or live in Mississippi),
there is no problem having engineer in your title.
