America in general doesn’t regulate the title “engineer” like some countries do. “Professional engineer” is a legal title, but really the only people who get it are civil and structural engineers who need to sign off on blueprints and take legal responsibility for the design. That and engineers at consulting firms who want fancier sounding titles that make a jury trust them more.

If you are into 3D printing, put it on your resume. That shows incredible problem-solving capabilities. We hired someone recently and only found out afterwards that she was into 3D printing as a hobby. If she’d have put that in her resume, she would have gone right to the top at the start. This was for a technical problem-solving, support role.
