Judge: State can't stop engineers from calling themselves engineers - WND:

A federal magistrate has ruled that Oregon cannot prevent an engineer who is questioning the state’s mathematical formula for traffic-light timing from calling himself an engineer.
Mats Jarlstrom, defended by the Institute for Justice, filed a First Amendment lawsuit after the state engineering-licensing board fined him for writing in a letter, “I’m an engineer.”
Jarlstrom has a degree in electrical engineering and decades of engineering experience. Like most engineers in Oregon, he is not a state-licensed “professional engineer,” and state law provided that only licensed professional engineers could legally use the title “engineer.”
Magistrate Judge Stacie F. Beckerman of the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon ruled largely in his favor.
He sued the board in 2017 alleging that Oregon’s engineering-licensing law violated his First Amendment rights by banning him from speaking publicly about the math behind traffic lights and from describing himself as an “engineer.”
