> software engineering and software architecture/whatever is currently fashionable. The former is about customers and the latter about the people who write software Huh, that naming seems backwards compared to the construction of physical buildings. Architects work on the design of the building (what is going to be built) and interface with customers. Civil engineers work on implementing the architect's design, figuring out how it is going be to built. They work with both the architect (upwards) and the construction people (downwards), but not with the customer.
