US != Canada. It has "Engineer" on it and has come up.

Individuals in the Province of Quebec will still be able to take the MCSE examinations and become a full member of the current program, but Microsoft will no longer provide Quebec MCSEs with materials or certificates that contain the word "engineer".
Microsoft even RECOMMENDS you do not "Elaborate" on (i.e. expand) the acronym.
My point is there is a large amount of stupidity in the world. The engineer's guild, being a guild, is a rent-seeking organization and is prone to try to eliminate any economic activity that infringes on their control of the market and ability to create artificial scarcity. Any free advice is severe and must be squashed.
