In a lot of cases, the use of engineer as a protected title has been given up due to various reasons, with only professional engineer being protected.

And the title of this article is blatantly misrepresenting the case. The issue isn't talking about the math, but getting in that legal gray area where the public could think he is a professional engineer making these claims.
