"We can breed for specific traits by pairing organisms with that desired trait together."

That's selective breeding (artificial selection), not genetic engineering. Genetic engineering involves directly altering an organism's DNA (e.g., inserting genes), whereas pairing organisms for desired traits is a traditional breeding method.
