At least in civil, the reason is because the professional engineer (PE) stamps all plans and assumes responsibility for said plans by doing so. Plans cannot be built without a stamp. This is the case because someone has to be found liable if a bridge should kill people, and it shouldn't be the technicians, designers or EITs under the PE, because they don't make nearly as much. With great pay comes great liability.
