I still have business cards issued to me by large companies assigning me the title of EE and/or Senior Software Engineer.

 
That would be fraud. "Large companies" cannot issue diplomas.

No, but they can confer the title. I've worked with two non-degreed
engineers in the past, both had engineering titles and responsibilities.
Those were both in private companies where they were "individual
contributors".  I doubt either of them would have been promoted to any
senior engineering or management role without degrees.

There's no law or rule in the US saying you can't be an engineer unless
you have a degree, but there are certain restrictions for what public
roles can be given to engineers, depending on which state you live in.
This especially applies to Civil or Electrical Engineering on public
infrastructure projects.

How strange. Here in Brazil you need a degree to be a
reporter.
