MCSEs who choose to keep using the term engineer could find themselves in court, according to at least one provincial engineering organization.
It was a response to a Microsoft Corp.-issued press release stating Microsoft certified systems engineers (MCSEs) should continue to use the word engineer after a year-long discussion with industry groups and experts in the field.
The Canadian Council of Professional Engineers (CCPE), which opposes the use of the word in the MSCE designation responded with its own release stating that various provincial and territorial licensing bodies are required by law to enforce the legislation.
