Why is it masculine?

Ingenieros is masculine because it derives from the Latin "ingeniarius," which used the masculine "-arius" suffix. In Spanish, this evolved into the masculine "-ero" ending. The word follows the standard Spanish pattern where masculine nouns ending in "-o" have corresponding feminine forms ending in "-a" (ingeniera). The masculine gender is inherent to the word's etymology and grammatical structure, not a later development.
