In Italy, only people who hold a formal engineering qualification of at least a bachelor's degree are permitted to describe themselves as an engineer.  So much so that people holding such qualifications are entitled to use the pre-nominal title of "{{lang|it|Ingegnere}}" (or "{{lang|it|Ingegnera}}" if female - in both cases often abbreviated to "Ing.") in lieu of "Signore", "Signorina" or "Signora" (Mr, Miss and Mrs respectively) in the same manner as someone holding a doctorate would use the pre-nominal title "Doctor".<ref>{{Cite web |last=Streppa |first=Eliana |date=2017-08-16 |title=Una top 19 di Ingegneri nella storia |url=https://sciencecue.it/top-19-ingegneri-nella-storia/11994/ |access-date=2025-05-17 |website=ScienceCuE |at=8.
