Ingénieur : un titre et une profession. L'appellation d'ingénieur recouvre en France deux grandes réalités, qui ne se recouvrent que partiellement : l'exercice d'une activité professionnelle demandant une compétence technique [...] la détention d'un titre sanctionnant une formation longue, selon un programme respectant un certain équilibre entre disciplines scientifiques, techniques et économiques et comportant un minimum d'expérience pratique. On peut également occuper un emploi comportant statutairement l'appellation ingénieur (exemple : ingénieur au CNRS, ingénieur au CNRS, ingénieur de la ville de ...). La profession d'ingénieur n'est pas organisée, au sens où elle ne fait l'objet d'aucun contrôle ou réglementation : Seul le titre d'ingénieur diplômé est reconnu et protégé par la loi (et non l'appellation simple d'ingénieur). Le titre d'ingénieur diplômé sanctionne une formation longue (en principe de 5 ans) dispensée par un établissement d'enseignement supérieur habilité par une instance placée auprès du ministère de l'Enseignement supérieur : la Commission des Titres d'Ingénieur, créée par la loi du 10 juillet 1934. 1, record 3, French, - ing%C3%A9nieur%20dipl%C3%B4m%C3%A9
