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".
