Are those real engineers or the companies that give the title of 'engineer' with something else, such as 'software engineer'

Kid recently applied to a position at my work, and I had to interview him. He had no formal engineering background. He was a programmer, and the copy of his transcript said nothing about graduating as either a nuclear, civil, mechanical, electrical or chemical engineering.

Some how HR was under that misconception, they are now clear, and needless to say, I could not accept him for the position he was unqualified for.

Paralegals are not attorneys, nurses are not doctors, and technicians and programmers are not engineers. None of the former listed before the professionals would be qualified either in a court of law to provide a professional opinion.
