I don't think what you study in your degree is the defining factor. Obviously this is country-specific but I feel you job title isn't always linked 1:1 to your title.

I studied Industrial Engineering, which in Spain exists as a degree but not as a job position. Position wise, I've been a mechanical design engineer, a manufacturing engineer, an automation engineer, robotics engineer, and these days I'm mostly a software engineer. I'm definitely specialised in engineering, regardless of the tools I'm applying to solve the task at hand.

My title technically is aerospace engineer, but yeah I get what you mean.
