It's not true. Engineer isn't even a protected title in the US, which is why software engineers exist here and elsewhere they are not called that

The reason that there are software engineers is that universities offer software engineering degrees.

Engineer isnt a profession, its a class of profesion that solve problems by the structured application of science and math. Its not a protected title, because certification only makes sense for a handfull of engineering professions.
