Here's how it is in North Carolina :-

=======================================================
North Carolina General Statutes  89C-23 Unlawful to practice engineering  
or land surveying without licensure; unlawful use of title or terms;  
penalties; Attorney General to be legal adviser

Any person who shall practice, or offer to practice, engineering or land  
surveying in this State without first being licensed in accordance with  
the provisions of this Chapter, or any person, firm, partnership,  
organization, association, corporation, or other entity using or employing  
the words "engineer" or "engineering" or "professional engineer" or  
"professional engineering" or "land surveyor" or "land surveying," or any  
modification or derivative of those words in its name or form of business  
or activity except as licensed under this Chapter or in pursuit of  
activities exempted by this Chapter ...
=======================================================

You cannot call yourself an engineer in NC without a license.
