Re: Faking it
3 months and/or 10,000AED fine for this, isn't it? I couldn't imagine an engineer from S/SE Asia would have earned (and therefore saved) enough to pay up the fine, so just how many cell spaces are there for them?

Re: Faking it
I think I have worked with all of these fake ones at some point
How do they get away with it? Mainly because the term is over used, every site supervisor or labourer seems to start with the default title of engineer.
Its fairly hard to fake in design roles but when you just have to inspect some block work or watch concrete being poured its easy to carry it off.
In my experience its prevalent mainly with Indians and Egyptians

Re: Faking it
The medical ones are worrying too. Is the radiographer qualified? Are we getting hit with 500x the dose of x-rays we're supposed to be?
