Can we please stop with this endless, seemingly deliberate, misunderstanding of what Engineering actually involves?
You go to a 4 year Engineering school, get an actual Engineering degree. Then you apprentice with an Engineering company, and study for the state's license examination, one of the hardest tests you'll ever take. If you pass, then and only then are you an Engineer.
Real engineering is nothing like the slop portrayed in this article.
Engineering schools showcase failures of the past as a teaching tool. I still remember learning about the bridge that shook itself apart during my freshman year. Engineers value safety margins and failure analysis.

Engineers DO learn from history.
