I can sympathize with this guy, but I'm not sure his stand is going to get him anywhere.
He contends state law and the board's actions that disallow anyone from using the word "engineer" if they're not an Oregon-licensed professional engineer amount to an "unconstitutional ban on mathematical debate."
This type of language is very common in state laws and regulations that govern licensed professionals. I know some professionals who won't even hand out a business card in a state where they are not licensed to practice.

This is a free speech issue. He is not claiming to practice engineering nor is he doing anything that would give that impression to the public. The board has used their very broad definition of practice on others who have seen fit to challenge a variety of Oregon’s laws and regulations. This is basically about this man’s criticism of red light cameras.

Oh heck, my job title is Systems Engineer, and I have a BA in Political Science and Economics with no official anything. That title is slapped on a lot of people who aren't engineers in any official way, and we don't get arrested. Kinda reminds me of Connecticut interpreting a labeling law that threatened to outlaw Salisbury Steak.

What if my business card says Politician?
More seriously, what kinds of titles did you come up with instead of engineer. I might need one.
