So is medicine “human engineering”?

Then again, I’m a software engineer that doesn’t consider my job engineering and I hate the title.

Isn't it? Wrangling a poorly understood system with partial knowledge and experimental skill seems like engineering to me.

I don’t know. The title ’engineer’ is overloaded. It’s like Sandwich Artist.

If we accept your definition. Then I am a food engineer, I am my own human engineer, I am a coffee engineer, I am child engineer, I am a dog engineer.

The word engineer has lost all meaning and this looks like title inflation.
