certain ones like charted engineer still isWhoosh!
WTF was that?
The sound of that post going completely over your heads!
At one time it was not a title that was dished out willy nilly to all and sundry and which used to command respect because everyone knew it had been legitimately earned. I do not class your average gas safe bloke as an engineer, nor do I class a bloke who installs and/or maintains alarms the same way. Nor a phone bloke, nor a bloke who only installs lifts.
At the very least, nowadays anyway, an engineer should be educated to degree level.
Whoosh!

Electrical engineers usually have a degree in electrical engineering. I'm not aware of any degree in washing machine engineering.I have no issue with the term engineer as long as it is after what 'discipline' they are claiming to be an engineer in. Ie. Washing machine engineer, electrical engineer, fire alarm engineer etc etc???
dont forget there are different levels of engineer and not all titles are protectedElectrical engineers usually have a degree in electrical engineering. I'm not aware of any degree in washing machine engineering.
Such nonsense cheapens the term
Nowadays anyone in any menial job is some kind of engineer, officer, consultant, specialist or director.Why is it that people who work on telecoms systems, heating systems, lifts and alarms are known generally as engineers.
They bloody are not! It boils me wee.

Trev has made a good point on what you class as an engineer
Hit. Nail and head Spring to mind. I don't believe that the Fb called for metal cu's for a moment. I imagine that the scheme's pushed for it.
