      First of all, there is little to no requirement to be NCEES FE/PE or even EIT certified to work as an engineer in the USA, unfortunately.

      In software “engineering,” sure. In e.g. civil engineering, on the other hand, pretty much everybody’s either gonna be licensed or on the path to it.

      I guess the regulators don’t consider software to count as real engineering, LOL!

          I cannot name any states that require NCEES certification and it certainly isn’t federal

          You conspicuously left out local jurisdictions, and guess what: that’s where the requirements kick in (except maybe for trivial stuff, the city or county is going to want plans to have a P.E.'s stamp on them before they’ll issue a building permit).

          Also, NCEES certification and professional licensure isn’t the same thing, so your claim was kind of a red herring in two ways. Licenses are issued by the state.

              LOL, you’re just quibbling to be argumentative. Are you going to try to make an argument that having 100% of local jurisdictions ✌️"decide"✌️ ✌️"on their own"✌️ to conform to nationwide standards of practice instead of having a “central system [of] regulation” makes any meaningful, practical difference, or are we done here?
