Most of the people I know who are Doctors of anything other than medicine only ever 
use the title to poke fun at themselves. The official title for engineers in Euro-land 
is Eur. Ing., which I remember seeing a few professors use at my University. I don't 
know how common it is outside of the UK, or academia for that matter.

Yours,
Ian.
