Thank you! I wish more people would go and learn what engineering is in other fields before trying to discuss software engineering. I recently had an argument on HN about the particulars of this topic: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8633616

Another book I can recommend on the subject is Petroski's To Engineer is Human.
