Ho. ly. shit.
I guess, whatever? Let’s fucking do this.
… Do you mean a “bachelor of arts” degree? Because that’s not an “arts degree”.
No, but it’s meant for understanding a topic at a broad level so you can communicate about said topic. It’s different from a Bachelor of science which delves more deeply into the topic and you can certainly call yourself an engineer with this kind of degree. You cannot call yourself an engineer or a scientist with a Bachelor of Arts (physics).
It very much depends on the university. You can’t make any consistent claims about either without talking about a specific school.

🤣
I’m from Australia and there are no BA(Physics) here, only BS(Physics) and you can only call yourself an engineer if you have the right degree, approved by engineers Australia and/or IEEE. Having the title of engineer here is similar to the medical doctor title.
Edit: Though the tone of your response makes sense to me now that I think of it. My husband’s company recently hired a senior software engineer from the states and he’s turned out to be no better than the local engineering graduates despite having over 20 years experience.
