I can respect that but you need to propose a new term for structural and electrical engineers to replace it if that's where we draw the line.

    You're continuing to prove my point. Words can have multiple meanings. Words change over time. The definition of a word is whatever people use it as.

    If tomorrow every bus driver becomes a transportation engineer, and everyone starts calling them that, then that's what engineer means.

    If you cannot accept the above, you cannot properly participate in English.
