Not really, rapid prototyping - especially due to 3d printing - is a thing now - you can iterate on a model as fast as you can in CS/CE.
Also - a lot of engineering disciplines use simulations - civil engineering, avionics etc - so they too can iterate quickly.
We are absolutely horrible at estimating. I had article somewhere that analyzed plenty of CS/CE projects and found that we are good at estimating median, and if something goes wrong in most complex part - the time to delivery can skyrocket 100x.
