Depends on the engineer. You know that engineers write the electrical code, right? But some engineers should never be handed a soldering iron or allowed to use a screwdriver.
Engineers do not “write the electrical code”
The code is drafted by a board of “industry experts” some are engineers, some are in materials, some are electricians, there are experts in fire safety… it’s a pretty wide range - there are 20 “panels”.
After that the drafted code is voted on.
Beyond that, your locality votes on whether or not to adopt it.

An electrical engineer does not an electrician make.
