Really...almost everywhere I have been and read about recognises the distinction between a 'degreed Engineer' and an IT brand-certification-engineer knowing that the IT engineer engineers (creates) the server, network or whatever.
Do not assume that this "recognition" is either universal or agreeable. Here's but one counter-example that threatens MCSEs with legal action if they actually ever spell out the name of their certification:

Make no mistake: The use of the term "engineer" in IT certifications is a marketing ruse, nothing more and nothing less.

I would expect more from this group than to do something for no other reason than because Microsoft and Red Hat do it. Simply because IT vendors disrespect the term "engineer" is no reason for the BSD cert team to follow suit. On the contrary, this is _exactly_ the opportunity to indicate that the BSD cert team is not just another IT exam peddler.
