Not here in Canada, nor many places where Engineer is a protected term.

Do you think software engineers just write code or something?

I would bet good money that the vast majority of people who have some variety of "software engineer" as their job title mostly just write code, yes

The concept of software engineer is so watered down at this point it often barely resembles engineering at all

In Canada engineering is a regulated term and if you aren’t licensed you can get in serious trouble calling yourself one.

source: I am licensed.

		Yeah. My job title at work is technically Software Engineer and it makes me a little uneasy because I am not licensed But I don't call myself an engineer at all. I'm a software developer through and through. My employer calls me an engineer for some reason through
