You can not say your a Licensed Engineer in 27 states if you are

not
personally licensed in each state.

That would be in those states which actually have a license

procedure
for being an engineer - which are few.

As far as I know, every state has a requirement that you have your

P.E.
to
be able to call yourself a "licensed engineer", "professional

engineer"
"consulting engineer", or offer engineering services to the public.


Not true. Only a PE requires some sort of licensure at the state
level in Connecticut.

I have been an engineer and consulting engineer for most of my
30 plus years in the field and have never been licensed by anybody.

I'm all with you on not having to be a P.E. to be an "engineer" but I
thought every state had the same requirement that you must be a P.E. to

work
directly to the public as an engineer, or to submit building plans.

Does Connecticut not regulate the titles "professional engineer"

consulting
engineer" or "licensed engineer"?


I have never worked for the "public". Most of my work was in
the world of mathematics mainly fluid, thermo and mechanical
dynamics as it relates to materials applications unless you count
the early days when I actually accomplished something by being
a Communications Engineer.

As to the title PE, yes, they regulate that, but as far as I'm aware,
there is not a requirement consulting or having to have a license
as an engineer. Again, I've been retired for ten years, so I may
not be aware of any changes that some no nothing may have
perpetrated in the legislature.
