The title of "Engineer" needs to become legally protected by government.

Closed 39 signatures

What the petition asks

Engineers spend years in education achieve their Engineering Degrees to have it undermined in society by the addition of the Engineer title to everyone else job title.
Many Engineers job roles have legal responsibilities to design and safety and are held responsible if something goes wrong, this cannot be said for the Vending Engineers and Sales Engineers, this is why the term Engineer needs protection.

This is not the first petition, please see: Petition No.44889 & 6271.
