I havent got an issue with graduates being given the title.. so long as they have experiance also after a few years etc... why should someone whos done a degree in engineerig but never used it be classed as a professional engineer? and someone whos being doing it for 30 years in the real world, machining parts he designed, repairing equipment by re-wiring it, designing hydraulic/pneumatic systems for things.. programming etc not be good enough for the title?

Most graduate engineers end up as paper pushers anyhow who never open a tool box.. IMO that kind of engineer wouldnt deserve it.
