Unless there's some specific legal requirement that the person doing
the job must hold a particular degree, any determination as to whether
or not a degree is required will always be "somewhat arbitrarily"
decided by the employer. 

The term "or equivalent experience" is frequently used in job listings
to open things up for non-degreed, but otherwise fully qualified,
people to perform engineering jobs that supposedly "require" a degree.
