I think of engineering as designing practical solutions to real problems. You seem very intent on engineering involving physics. I disagree but okay.

Your definition would apply to millions of business analysts. Maybe we should call them business engineers :-)

The physical aspect is just something that has been associated with all traditional engineering disciplines.
