FORTRAN is for scientists who use computers to do their science. IMHE, it's not really a language used by generic software engineers, you would be expected to understand how to apply complicated math to some sophisticated problems. The place I worked for had a pipeline to turn PhDs into FORTRAN developers; CS/SE people filled the support roles and mostly wrote C & shell scripts.
