I was in a project planning meeting with the lead/manager and it was the first time I heard 'resources' being used for engineers as well as for hardware equipment. It did sound weird for a second, but it was not annoying/irritating. However, it makes you realize you are only a "resource" and you can be replaced by a different or multiple "resource" if you quit or if needed.
