Exactly. Public safety is central to Engineering practice. Bridges and buildings come to mind but many life-critical software projects in aerospace, medical devices, automotive, also have emphasis on safety. The development process is way more controlled in embedded industries compared to web/IT/enterprise. Even Google and financial services are really just services that scaled and acquired a massive userbase. “Software Engineering” is really just an application of civil engineering project management to programming projects. The job title of software engineer is used too liberally however.
