An engineer — like doktor, used as a respectful title.

Mr. Engineer, is the plan ready?
'مهندس' (mohandes) comes from the Arabic 'مهندس' (muhandis), which means 'engineer'. The term was adopted into Persian as modern engineering disciplines developed in the 20th century.
'مهندس' is used in both formal and informal settings to refer to engineers, frequently appearing in academic writing and professional environments throughout Persian-speaking countries.
