That's asinine when there is no associated professional licensure requirement for cobbling together HTML for a mom&pop liquor store.
In the US, any type of (non-locomotive) engineer involved in critical engineering design, decisions, implementation, and manufacturing of large-scale or life-safety aspects can or should be a "professional engineer" (PE) so malpractice insurance (EPLI) will cover them and client/employers will hire them.
If I say I'm a witch doctor, there is no confusion that I'm not a doctor (of medicine).
My undergrad major was Computer Science & Engineering. Do I need an extra certificate to call myself "an engineer?" Nope.
