IANL, but here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professional_Engineer they say:

"The exact licensing procedure can vary from state to state, but the
general process is: 1. Graduate with a degree from an accredited four-year
university program in engineering. [...]"

"The title "Engineer" is legally protected in many states, meaning that it
is unlawful to use it unless permission is specifically granted by a state,
through a professional engineering license, an industrial exemption, or
certain other non-professional engineering licenses such as Operating
Engineer."


I think I have said before that I never have been in a situation where
something like this was important, and I probably could get my degree
recognized somehow if it was... at least by paying a university for it :)
