I would definitely agree with Ruth that a software engineer is a real engineer for the reasons that she gives. I do recognise though that a lot of software engineers don't class themselves as engineers (I trained as a softare engineer though I am now an Enterprise Architect).
I like Ruth's view and would extend it - its being able to see and use the principles even though the domain in which they come from might not be the same as yours.
