Who's talking about engineering? There is a large space between being able to write code well enough to be useful and being a bonafide software engineer. Hell just knowing enough about programming to have a general gist about what is possible and not is a huge upgrade.

Knowing what is possible and what's not possible is the responsibility of whoever is dreaming up the features.

Only if "dreaming" is an individual endeavor and not part of a group effort of specialists working together.

Bad managers pass the buck here to the designer. Unfortunately, this is my experience.
