Who is an Engineer? You are if you do order of magnitude calculations
What differentiates an engineer from a scientist? Both study the same principles. Often the same text books.
The former is hands on, off the cuff, quick check kind of person. The latter goes into analytical detailing.

I wear both hats. As an engineer I first do a quick and dirty calculation often without any calculating aid. On purely research activities I adopt the other ways. Though I do cheat a bit and do use quick cut and try methods before investing major effort in precise evaluation. -
