It's not at all recognised as an engineering discipline in the UK. Engineers in the UK generally are recognised and chartered by the Engineering Council http://www.engc.org.uk/ http://www.engc.org.uk/ While they will charter someone as an ICT Technician (someone working with computer hardware or software), they wont recognise them as a chartered engineer without relevent civil engineering qualifications and experience. You wouldn't use engineer on your CV in the UK in my experience, you would use software developer or programmer.
