so why are they using the engineer? are they using it claim who they are, or what they do?
engineering is an action. not a persona. if you perform the action of engineer, you are engineering.

I don't disagree...entirely. Again it comes down to how you describe engineering. The man I mentioned doesn't plan or design programs he writes the code according to the project goal.
If I build something following the plan that someone else designed, am I the engineer, or are they?
By what you wrote above "performing the action of an engineer" do you mean to include designing a build or just doing the fabrication?
