Will Software Engineering become a valid engineering discipline?
- todd8 10y agoIt is a valid engineering discipline. Engineering is about making useful things, from metal, from concrete, from semiconductors, and from software. Engineering requires the application of methods that use science, mathematics, and processes that have been studied to invent and construct solutions. This is what Civil Engineers do and this is what Software Engineers do too. I see nothing wrong with someone calling themselves a software engineer that has both training (a CS degree for example) and experience (a few years) working in software development.
