AAE clearly denotes Engineering in the professional sense. He's not an engineer, he's misleading people. You can argue all you like with the 14th definition you found, but you know you're wrong. doc·tor /'d?kt?r/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[dok-ter] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation –noun 1. a person licensed to practice medicine, as a physician, surgeon, dentist, or veterinarian. 2. a person who has been awarded a doctor's degree: He is a Doctor of Philosophy. 3. Doctor of the Church. 4. Older Slang. a cook, as at a camp or on a ship. Given your same argument, if you're in need of emergency medical treatment, and you ask for a doctor - if a cook shows up - that's perfectly legitimate. Arguing semantics only serves to show that you don't really have a valid point, but you're not ready to give up quite yet. Let it go.
