I think that missed the point. Engineers are applied scientists. Programmers are not applied scientists.

  Why does any of this matter?

    Different expertise. I'm guessing you are neither?

      Incorrect guess, and it still doesn't really change anything. You're just playing with words. It's no more useful than a full thread arguing about a misspelling; Just pure noise. Software engineering could learn a lot from, say, civil engineering. It could also learn a lot from interface design and I'm sure even microbiologists and astronauts could teach us a lot. Engineering is not special.

        Programmers have no idea.
