It should be (and might be?) illegal for him to call himself an engineer unless he graduated from an accredited school with a degree in engineering

    That’s only a thing in Canada I believe.

    Well I know you certainly cannot lie about being a "Professional Engineer," but that's a specific thing that you have to take (apparently a very difficult) test for. I don't think you can take the test without a degree (and/or EIT Certification, which I believe itself requires a degree but I could be wrong).

    I imagine it comes down to what you're doing with the "I'm an engineer" lie. I guess maybe it's ok if you're just being CEO, but as soon as you pretend you have the authority to approve plans and shit, then you can get in serious trouble.
