To me being an "engineer" is when you have expertise in designing and building a "construct", that you have deep enough knowledge and experience to reason about the choices you and your team make when working on that construct, however large or small. Of course, this doesn't mean anything to anyone but me. So if you were to apply my definition to yourself, fill in the possible knowledge/ experience gap until you're always confident to explain your choices to an audience
