Yes - Germany being an excellent example. There, a person has to have a minimum set of relevant engineering qualifications, experience and accreditation to professional bodies in order to call him/her self an Engineer.
But, we must not overlook the importance of our engineers. Every year, an engineer from a local business visits my house and does an excellent job of sucking the entire content of the septic tank with a big hosepipe connected to his truck.
