I think that's only a civil engineering thing.

Source: work in the industry, and "Civil Engineer" and "Professional Engineer" are legally protected titles. Other than that, it's fair game. Like, there are "Design Engineers" in the civil sector that don't have their Professional Engineer certification.

In Germany the title engineer is protected by law but with a computer science degree you may call yourself an engineer.
