> Software engineering is deemed to fall within the practice of professional engineering: > Where the software is used in a product that already falls within the practice of engineering (e.g. elevator controls, nuclear reactor controls, medical equipment such as gamma-ray cameras, etc.); > Where the use of the software poses a risk to life, health, property or the public welfare; and > Where the design or analysis requires the application of engineering principles within the program (e.g. does engineering calculations), meets a requirement of engineering practice (e.g. a fail-safe system), or requires the application of the principles of engineering in its development. In other words, the vast majority of software engineering does not fall within the practice of professional engineering.
