Engineer - Definition and More from the Free Merriam-Webster Dictionary
I'd disagree with you, there are definitely software engineers. I would not say all programmers or coders are doing software engineering, but the job title can certainly exist.
When writing code for CNC machines, I mentally "engineer" the lay out of the code, then proceed to simply plug in the numbers. The second part isn't engineering at all, however, this gives me a personal glimpse into the most basic of the coding world. I can easily see that with the power of modern computers that complicated software would require software engineers to bring it all together.
