They own the buisness so they do what they want.

I worked at a top ten (by market cap) publicly traded company for a number of years. My job title always included the word engineer: Senior Engineer, Principal Engineer, Engineer IV, etc. This was a job earning six figures, not some "bogus job title."
Yet, I've never possessed an engineering degree, and none of my coursework in college had "engineering" in the name or was taught by an engineering department (except for a single programming class, PASCAL).
A degree from an accredited engineering program is only one possible way to demonstrate a minimal level of competence to a potential employer. There are others.
One key factor is that Louisiana is not producing nearly enough graduates from "accredited engineering programs." Many jobs with a firm requirement for a Bachelors degree in engineering go unfilled for a loooooong time. Yet the jobs still need to be done. Wise employers often fill positions with greater flexibility regarding how job competencies are established.
