      you can be called an engineer after you get your bachelor’s degree… (3 years in the UK). but how much you know and how good you are, I think that comes with working and getting more experience. In Canada, I know you won’t be called an engineer unless you have a master’s degree and 5 years of experience and have achieved your engineering chartership (CEng).

      It technically took me 3 years to be an engineer, as that’s when I graduated from my first engineering degree. Other people don’t do degrees and it may take longer to be called an engineer, it may be quicker. It all depends on which path you take into engineering and where you are in the world!
