Not in the US.  Almost ALL engineering positions will have a
"BSEE/CS required" in the description.  Take this "Software Engineer
1" position (which is pretty junior) from cisco's job board:

     Typically requires BSEE/CS combined with 2-4+ yrs related
     experience, or MSEE/CS combined with 1-2 years of related experience

I guess the "typically" is our out, but I bet it's difficult to get
past the HR resume screeners without the BS.
