I'll be a professional civil/structural engineer, hopefully, when I pass the PE exam in October (been out of school for 4 years).

Also, I assume by "Professional Engineer", you mean they've passed the PE exam and are licensed? Otherwise, calling yourself a PE without a license is illegal.

You realize the "Professional Engineer" is a specific title that refers to being "licensed": http://www.nspe.org/pf-home.asp
This is basically a requirement in some fields (Civil), but extremely rare in others (Aerospace).

I'm not sure if that's what you meant when you said Professional Engineer. If it is, you're missing a big class of unlicensed engineers.

Like me. I don't plan to ever become a PE, but I do have my EE degree.

Yeah, I'm unlicensed engineer myself. I'm a research assistant studying heat transfer.

I am an engineering professor. Not listed, but I guess professional is the closest, I did work in industry for 20 years before becoming a prof.

Edit: electrical engineering
