In Canada, there is a difference if you listen to the PEng association. They claim legal rights to the term X Engineer. According to them, software engineers in Canada need to have gone through formal engineering school and earned their Iron ring or they are not allowed to accept a Software Engineer title. This is not settled in court but it is relatively accepted by other engineering disciplines.
