Fwiw my degree was in Computer Engineering. If I ever needed to I could take the Professional Engineer exam. I've never needed to so far.
I worked for NASA, at JPL writing software for the Space Shuttle. So yeah, I'm an actual software engineer. When the need arises I do hardware too.
there are a few places where the practices get closer to what one might call engineering, but even then it's rather unlike most engineering
NASA's methodology, for instance, is not comparable to any other form of engineering
