It's also inaccurate in some cases. I don't know about elsewhere, but here (Alberta, Canada) you cannot claim the title Engineer without a degree from a certified educational institute.
So, while we can study software engineering, calling myself a Software Engineer would be misleading and possibly illegal.
(Please note that I AGREE with this setup. Being an Engineer also makes you responsible for your work in a legal sense. Controls on the title make it more meaningful and valuable.)
