Actually not true.
You still can become a Professional Engineer by meeting certain requirements.
12 years of experience under a licensed Engineer. a 4 year degree in Engineering counts as 8 years of experience. I believe a Masters degree counts 1 year. So with a degree, you still need at least 4 years under a licensed engineer.
You also need to pass 2 exams. First pass the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE used to be called the EIT). Then you need to pass the PE exam in your field. And then you need sign off by your mentors who are licensed engineers.
So, you can still apprentice and get a PE license. And you would in fact be a licensed engineer.
Now, most of us who have 4 year degrees in engineering never bother to get a PE license, since we don't need to stamp drawings. But we still are engineers.
Without the PE license, you cannot call yourself an engineer if you do not have a degree in engineering.
