I think you are comparing a subset with its master set. Engineering is master set while software engineering is subset of it. An Engineer need to know more... more means more... In India, First year Computer Engineers have mechanical work shop, chemistry , physics etc. Also , they made to understand process engineering etc. But a Software engineer is limited to languages etc. The wide difference you can see in MCA and B tech Computer Science curriculum.

On Application Part: It depends upon the problem you are solving. If its software related then you are software engineer :). This is my personal view. Yes, your article present the question in very nice manner : Was I a Developer or an Engineer?
