My degree is in electrical engineering and I've been a developer most of my professional career (more recently in DevOps and automation) and I've never used the term engineer to refer to myself.
I remember when I graduated like 30 or whatever years ago they were very adamant about us getting in lots of trouble from APEGA if we used the term engineer.
Having tried to hire senior people recently, some calling themselves devops or similar engineers, the term certainly doesn't seem to have the weight it used to.
