Ha! You should hear me rant and grumble every time I have to call the "engineering department" at work when I want to get a hold of a plumber, electrician, or general handyman (for work I could do myself, but am typically barred from, because that's how companies work). I know I shouldn't be that protective of the title, but still, five years of engineering school seems degraded by calling a mister-fix-it "engineer". (To be fair, I never had a PE. I worked automotive, for which one isn't required. Although with the shitty ethics and shoddy designs we've seen across the industry recently, perhaps that needs to change.)
