Engineers apply established scientific principles to develop and optimize artifacts and processes. The vast majority of people are not engineers, whatever their job title may be.

You can give yourself any title you want. However, it will never be true. No such thing as a "software engineer".

someone with an engineer's degree. quite specifically. it's not about the mindset, it's about the recognized piece of paper.

how can you call yourself an engineer if you've never designed an engine?
either the internal combustion type or the siege type, that works too.

neologism. engineers were highly skilled professionals constructing siege equipment and defensive fortifications. usually they were shitalians or flemish, and hired throughout europe wherever there was war (there was always war everywhere)

An engineer is someone smart enough to solve real-world problems while taking all possible edge cases into account.
The focus on conservative, tried and true solutions and real-world knowledge is what sets the engineer apart from the scientist.

a meaningless term because engineers didn't do enough to protect it
anyone from software devs to fucking plumbers claim the term
