You can't simply make up a "Dr. Ing.", at least not in Germany.
If someone has been awarded the academic degree of a "Doktor",
the degree is related to a specific field of research. For
computer scientists, "natural sciences" (Dr. rer. nat.) and
"engineering science" (Dr.-Ing.) are common. "Dr." is used as
an abbreviation for any Doktor degree.


Cheers, Marcus
