That's easy:
If you know how to perform a Laplace transform and how to use it, then you are an engineer.
p.s. I am an EE.
Hehehe...I have many friends who know the Laplace transform...
and can't be trusted with changing a light bulb.

(Not an engineer...don't remember much about the Laplace
transform...and can just barely change a light bulb...)

I'm not sure, but I think P.Eng is the licensed engineer
designation in Canada.

I now have a electrical engineering degree but iam not a licensed engineer. I have to pass a cert. test and have a minimum of 3 years (it might be 4 years, they keep changing it) to get my P.Eng designation. With the P.Eng you are a full engineer with all the responsibility and legal liability that that comes with. Iam not sure of the exact rules to pass the P.Eng but your 3-4 years of experience have to meet some minimum standard and has to be done under the watchful eye of another P.Eng

I used to know that (and could probably be reminded). I have an honours degree in mathematical statistics (all down to a choice of an 8 AM or a noon class in 4th year), and half of an EE degree (a work term turned into a full-time job)
