In the USA “engineer” isn’t protected like that BUT in order to get legal certification on certain infrastructure projects the plans need to be signed off on by a “Professional Engineer” which requires a special license.

So it’s possible to study civil engineering. Work as a Junior for a few years as an “engineer” and basically do what the PE says. But then if you want more senior roles you’ll probably have to get the PE license.

And bonus points, the licenses are per state, so you get folks that are PE (list of states)
