Essentially it’s clear that a software architect is not designing building. It is not inherently clear that a software Engineer is not practicing engineering.
The definition from engineers Canada which is more or less included in each provinces Act
“ The "practice of engineering" means any act of planning, designing, composing, evaluating, advising, reporting, directing or supervising, or managing any of the foregoing, that requires the application of engineering principles and that concerns the safeguarding of life, health, property, economic interests, the public welfare or the environment.”
