A civil engineer is a professional engineer. I would assume your father is a certified PE [1].

This rubbish flies in our industry since we are not professional engineers.

Nonsense. It's because your industry is relatively new and hasn't established the same institutions.

A professional engineer is not someone who professes to be an engineer. S/he is a "professional" per certification by "established" "institutions" within an "industry".

> Nonsense.

This is interesting. Is this similar to things like the bar council for lawyers? I don't know if there is something similar to this in India where I'm from.
