So folk who are apprentice-trained and time-served in electrical/mechanical/multi-skilled engineering aren't really engineers?

Depends what they do - but unless they've a sound theoretical background and actually design new stuff from first principles, then no, they're not.

More than likely they're technicians - and there's *nothing* wrong with being a technician.

What about fitters, where do they stand in the engineer/not engineer debate.
They're the ones who take on more advanced tasks than the technicians.
