>Yes, NSPE is serious and pursuing the illegal use of the term engineer.
Surely this doesn't mean that federal laws are being violated.
Are certain uses illegal (such as calling yourself a PE when you haven't
obtained certification) in all 50 states? Do all 50 have licensing procedures
for engineers in the relevant categories (which I take to exclude railroad
engineers)?
>If you are incapable of passing the test then
>cease calling yourself an engineer. Afraid you can't make the grade?
A pattern seems to be emerging. Gathering support, they say.
