In the U.S., there is no federal regulation to that effect, but rather it varies from state to state. The only one I know that definitely restricts the use is New Jersey (there was an article to that effect in ComputerWorld a couple of decades back). <SNIP> Let's see, there is Texas, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Maryland... And Texas and New Jersey were at one time playing with making Software Engineer a reality. However, New Jersey thought that the board to control the new Software Engineer group should report to Cosmetology. This caused an uproar, and that got completely derailed as a hair-brained idea (and no, I'm not joking).
