You keep talking about those positions, but I don't know that I've
ever seen such a position in the US within the realm of EE/CS,
except for university professors...  I've heard of assorted
special certifications that can be required, but those are
different than degrees; it's like we're WELL acquainted with
the general uselessness of an EE/CS degree when it comes to
guaranteeing any particular knowledge set...

(Medical degrees are required to be a Doctor, and there have
been assorted international disagreements on whether a medical
degree from country X should be accepted in country Y.  And
there are a bunch of rather arbitrary requirements placed on
school teachers...  But  EE/CS?)
