I work for a company who calls the guy managing the exchange server a Software Engineer(Which I think is odd). These terms are thrown around alot today without knowing what or who they are. I think people say 'oh they are in technology they must be a Programmers, Developers, Engineers but they really don't know what they are talking about.
My degree is in Computer Engineering and I work as a Software Engineer(Which is what I call myself). I used to work for Raytheon a large defense contractor, which called everyone an Engineer, didn't matter if they had a Computer Science degree, Computer Engineering Degree, or used to be a school teacher who taught them self how to code. I would like a clear definition but like someone else said that this is such a new area that the boundaries can be very low for what it takes to enter the field.
I don't feel like you should limit calling someone an Engineer or Programmer or Developer based on degrees(Because I think the whole education system is flawed) but I would like to see some consolidation.
