True, most engineers, and others, will commit crimes including criminal negligence, when asked firmly enough by a powerful corporation that can fire them. See Flint, Michigan, the great robbery of 2008 etc, etc. But the idea of a profession is that you don't, that you have professional ethics.
- rplst8 10y agoYeah the term engineer is thrown around pretty casually in the software world. You can apprentice and take the PE (Professional Engineer) test, but it's often hard to find software engineers with their PE certificate. It's much more common in other fields like Mechanical, Electrical, and primarily Civil. It all my years (15) of professional experience, I've only worked under one PE, an Electrical Engineer. In some states you literally can not have "engineer" in your job title unless you have a PE certificate/accreditation/whatever.
