... in my mind yes... engineering focuses on problem solving to invent solutions. Engineers use science, maths and creative thinking to design, test and create machines, structures and processes.
Sure, I may be female, trained in electronic engineering (a long time ago, shortly after the electron was discovered

) and spent a lifetime in software engineering and I might not be able to design a skyscraper or a nuclear power station.... But I can & have installed my own solar PV system, built a DIY LFP battery pack and written software to communicate between my battery and inverter over CANBus as well as logging RS485 Modbus RTU data from my inverter to a RPi5.
So, I feel I can wear the engineer t-shirt

And I did once change a bearing on our tractor too
