Nothing to do with software is real engineering in any case. Engineering outside the software world actually refers to real codified standards (not just "standards" based on vibes or popularity or generic best practices) that are enforced by central professional regulatory bodies. These are fields where your mistakes can land you in prison or debarred from practicing in the field. No such thing exists in software, so until it does then really anyone in this field should give themselves a real critical review over how snotty they want to be with terminology.
