OK, Maj. English, here's a direct quote from Merriam-Webster:

: a person who has scientific training and who designs and builds complicated products, machines, systems, or structures : a person who specializes in a branch of engineering

: a person who runs or is in charge of an engine in an airplane, a ship, etc.

: a person who runs a train

In its original context it meant a maker of engines, from a Latin root meaning "invent".
