All of the above mentioned areas of competency can easily be tied to 
construction and safety of the constructed product.  To me that indicates 
that the meaning of "engineering" as used above is structural engineering.  
It seems to me to be a reach to say software and even electrical (digital) 
engineering is covered by this article.  If that were so, it could read "If 
you build or inspect buildings, highways, bridges, railroads, gardens or 
video games, you must be certified."  Software just doen't seem to fit in 
that group.

Any lawyers want to venture a non-binding clarification?
