What is an engineer? (And how much does this post confuse science and engineering?)

From a piece entitled The Creative Side Of Science:

... working together to create new things is part of engineering, and Carlos Contreras of Intel said young people need to get that message. He said they often don’t know that engineering can be a creative process — or even what engineering is, exactly.

'In a survey of teens, we find that they have high regard for engineering as a profession, but don’t know what engineers do or how much they make,' he said.
