Maybe in the US. Any self-titled Engineer in Europe with no knowledge of CPU's, registers, stacks, concurrency, process management, scheduling, O-notation, dynamic systems, EE, and a bigass chunk of Math from Linear to Abstract it would be insta-bashed down in the spot with no degree at all.

Here in Spain atthe most basic uni you are almost being able to write a Minix clone from scratch into some easy CPU (Risc-V maybe) from all the knowledge you got.

I am no Engineer (trade/voc arts, just a sysadmin) and I can write a small CHIP8 emulator at least....
