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.
