professional engineer

uno che non solo si è laureato in ingegneria presso un'università o un politecnico, ma ha anche superato un esame di stato che lo abilita ad esercitare la professione.
(come in Italia)

certified engineer

From what I know engineer in English also implies that they went to university and received a degree. However, like in Italy, engineers must pass an exam to be able to practice their profession (like in Italy).

This is one suggestion if you don't want to go with just engineer.

Peer comment(s):
neutral Dr Andrew Read : This is the best if it is in fact necessary to show they're a degree-qualified engineer. If it's just a list of jobs, though, then "engineer" may well be fine.

warranted engineer

I agree with other postings, only that the public exam the enginner would take, like in the medical, legal and accounting professions, is often called a warrant in most english-speaking countries. So although I am not contesting what the other posters said, I believe 'warranted' engineer to be also valid.
Peer comment(s):
neutral Dr Andrew Read : In a UK context this sounds a little unusual to me - "certified" is more common, IMO.

engineer!!!

Ma e' giusto cosi'! Un engineer corrisponde al ns. ingegnere (che e' laureato in ingegneria). Ti assicuro! Il "tecnico" si chiama "Technical engineer" (da qui forse la tua perplessita'?)

Forse puoi aggiungere la specializzazione, se la sai (es. chemical engineer, ecc.).

neutral Dr Andrew Read : Not necessarily - the term "engineer" is used more loosely in English sometimes, for example with "telephone engineer" - simply the person the telephone company sends round to fix your line, who probably isn't degree-qualified.

Se aggiungi specificaz. davanti a "engineer" può cambiare tutto ma se è elenco di lavori e c'è engineer da solo non si associa un tecnico, bensì uningegnere... D'altronde "certified" e simili implica superamento esame di stato(non tutti ing. lo sostengon)
