We're very casual about throwing out the term "engineering", and maybe this came from the deceptive way in which Microsoft came up with the Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer certification which then entered the lexicon, or the use of the term operating systems. True Engineering is not software development, and vice versa. The knowledge required to be an excellent engineer is not the same knowledge required to be an excellent software developer, and vice versa. Even if we look at the most software centric parts of engineering in the fundamentals exam for the PE, we see a huge emphasis on the physical world that is key for Electronics Engineers, but not for a software developer https://ncees.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/FE-Electrical-and-Computer-CBT-specs.pdf https://ncees.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/FE-Electrical-a...
