In my country those are a myth. We had it as a professional engineering classification for a while but I'm not sure if anyone ever completed it. They cancelled it several years ago.

And in US anyone can call themselves whatever they feel like.

If you want professional quality, we're the first line of actually making it happen, blaming others won't change anything.
