Programmers aren’t necessarily engineers tho, software engineers are, but not all programmers are software engineers. Even then, lots of people are trained as SEs and then just end up programmers.

Nah. Software engineers aren't real engineers because they aren't liable for their poor design decisions.

The title of Engineer is heavily protected in some countries. You'd get the title of Developer or Analyst or something along those lines.
