Engineering is engineering. You design it, you build it, you test it. Engineering. We shouldn't gatekeep words.
With that said, I recognize that certain engineering disciplines have overlap with public safety, and should come with some qualifications to back it up.
How long until they realize software engineering has overlap with public safety too?
Single software engineer can nowadays do more harm than most of other engineers. Just one SQL injection and all the people's personal data have been leaked. Single bug in car self driving software and the car drives in to school bus.
