Engineering is the application of science; as the science here is weak at best, calling it engineering seems a stretch. Perhaps “prompt author” would be more appropriate.

I think that there is a science here that people are working to discover. Prompt engineering is slowly turning into its own language and the more it's studied like this I think the more validity there will be to calling it engineering.
