Information Systems is NOT an engineering degree.
The problem for most schools is an engineering degree is a specific, formally defined degree. It seems that ABET has recently updated their Software Engineering criteria, but for decades a software engineering degree required extensive curriculum in physical science.
- stale2002 7y ago> Information Systems is NOT an engineering degree. It teaches you how to work as a web developer. Web development being something that people often call software engineering. Use whatever word or definition that you want to group Info Systems under, but at the end of the day, these people with these degrees are still getting jobs at Google, FB, and the other top companies, and/or startups, and are giving the job title "software engineer". That is the definition of software engineer that I use. It is defined as "Those people who are working at google, or top startups or whatever".
