Even in the US computer engineering degrees require licensing and are different than “software engineering”, which is actually a specialty within computer science.

Except everyone calls themselves "engineer" after a 6 weeks bootcamp, is is rediculous.

Yes, I thought your comment was about university regulations. Does Portugal make it illegal to list “software engineer” on your business card? (or does Portugal have a software engineering licensing system?)

Yes to both questions.
If you happen to be someone like our former prime minister, or being lucky that no one bothers to sue because of how long everything takes.
However, depending on the company, it might be a matter to lose the job.
Where it definitely matters is signing legal binding contracts.

I went to bootcamp and outperform people with master's degrees that don't even understand why a hashmap is amortized O(1) every day. You got ripped off paying for school so take your degree and shove it.

State pays for our degrees, and ensures that are actually market worthy.
Also not everyone and their dog gets in unless they prove their skills.
Most private university are seen as scams.
You should start by shooting down all the university scams in US to start with.

No Portuguese university is allowed to call their computing degrees engineering without their approval, and in certain kinds of state related projects, the one putting their signature into the legal contracts has to have the professional title acknowledged.
Germany and Switzerland have a similar process for those carrying engineering on their title.
Either that or you have done it via a trade school, and people on the job have to have a kind of teaching certification for the school to approve the company as teaching place.
