A legal battle over the title “engineer”. Alberta’s professional engineering regulator APEGA is in a legal battle against two tech companies, Jobber and iStock, over their use of the word “engineer”. The tech companies are arguing that it is obvious to the public that a “software engineer” is distinct from engineer’s that are regulated by APEGA.
