> The original meaning of engineering has gotten lost over the time, diluted by a sense of self-importance.
The original meaning is "someone who builds machines, particularly siege engines, or who constructs defenses against those machines". Is that really what you're complaining about?
Perhaps you're referring to the meaning "a guy who shovels coal into a train engine"?
