Do you think traditional engineering culture is not an academic one?
- johnbellone 4y agoMy statement was meant to compare/contrast an academic subculture -- conferences, papers, discussions, debates -- with a professional society such as the NSPE. We do have our own share of professional societies that fit the bill but we do not have a requirement for licensure in our industry. By definition it is a different animal.
- johnbellone 4y agoI also think that there are many organizations that have tried to provide a solution to the problem -- and arguably, solve it effectively -- such as the IETF, IET, etc., but we're at a interesting and exciting part of a field that is only a few decades old. We're still learning. There are thousands of graduates in our field that were not formally educated in computer science. That's not a requirement to be in the job.
